The teams trying to vie for a place in the semi finals Jabriya Indian School and English School Fahaheel. Both teams with very agile ball handlers in their side, on paper, could not match the superior position play of the JIS (Jabriya Indian School), who out played the English School Fahaheel boys in all departments of basket ball. The ESF (English School Fahaheel), were all at sea, not knowing whether to guard their basket or attack the opponents basket. The JIS team with a vociferous crowd support, of students and supporters beating drums and cheering their teams being their home court, led the thrashing that was the end result of 69 – 9. The top scorer for JIS being No.22 Phillip with 22 points to his credit, but the credit should go to Osama who scored 16 points and was instrumental in thwarting the ESK attack. The first quarter saw JIS taking a 18 to 2 lead thanks to the position play of their shooting guard Steve, who made space for counter attacks, and dunked the baskets, at leisure. ESK on the other hand were lethargic, going for sowmanship which did not translate into points for them. The best the ESK could do was in the third quarter when they scored 5 points to 18 of JIS. Teams: JIS : Osama K, Filip S, Nounie A, Tyrone W, Mahmood N, Bilal I, Steve J, Arun R, Mahd A, Ahmed A, Roshan M, Salman M, ESK: Ahmed a, Sailwali S, Islam B, Mohammad S, Ahmed D, Mohammed A, Ibrahim G, The second match of the day pitted Indian Public School against Gulf Indian School Gulf Indian school scored of a free throw when they were fouled, and carried on to win 30 –14, thanks to Eapen scoring 16 of those points.
