The B grade teams have still another game to play, but McKenzie's are in an unbeatable position, and for their first season in the competition this team has done remarkably well. The most interesting game last night was between Reliance B and Bouzaids. The latter rose to the occasion and in a fast thrilling game emerged victors by a single goal. With all players going at top speed the spectators were treated to an excellent display.
