Whitney Cup and USPA Gold Cup emerged from a close and fraught match, with numerous yellow cards, to beat Brookshire 14-13. The last Quarter Final of the weekend saw defeat for Melissa Ganzi’s The Setai at the hands of this year’s C.V. Whitney Cup winners La Dolfina/Tamera with Diego Cavangh scoring 10 goals to help secure his team’s 16-9 win.
