At the top of Division 1 Sledgehammers continued their winning run while Lasers gave themselves a chance of the runners–up spot with a win against Eagles. Jammers went back to the top of Division 2 with a comfortable win, setting things up nicely for the final match of the season between them and Kings for the top spot.
Sledgehammers did not have things all their own way in their home game against Cougars as Stephen Eley hit 9 in the opening 3 minutes to give the visitors a bit of a lead. The home side hit back with a 12-2 run to help them to a 9-point lead after the first quarter. A combined 16 from Bert Scott and Jules Keeling helped keep Sledgehammers ahead in the second and open up a gap of 16 by half time. Cougars narrowed the gap early in the third but could not get the deficit down to single figures and when Scott and Keeling combined for another 23 the home team pulled away again to win comfortably.

High scoring was again a feature in the game between Eagles and Lasers with Lasers up by 7 after the opening quarter. They extended this to 20 by half time as Anton Dixon helped himself to 25 but Eagles were not helped by missing 13 times from the foul line. Lasers maintained the gap in the third as Ethan Dixon hit 11 and by the end of the game the two brothers had hit 67 between them as Lasers kept hold of the runners-up spot.

In Division 2 Lynx suffered back to back defeats to leave them still looking for their first win. At home to Jammers they were soon behind when they only managed 3 field goals in the opening quarter. Lynx came back in the second and won the quarter but were still behind at half time; it might have been better had they not missed 8 foul shots. In the third Lynx only managed one basket and with Ed Merry hitting 14 second-half points to finish with a game-high 18, Jammers pushed themselves back to the top of the table.

On the road at Cannons, Lynx gave a much better account of themselves. Cannons had the narrowest of leads after the first but widened the gap in the second as Tom Wallis hit 12. Cannons pulled further ahead in the third and the game looked over but James Vincent hit 13 in the final quarter to narrow the gap to 4 and finish with a game-high 25 to leave Cannons hanging on for a narrow win.
