The final lived up to expectations, with VFCSS using its strong presence in key positions to pressure Micoud throughout the match. Quarter scores of 7-5, 13-11, 24-19, and 31-30 showed how tightly fought the contest was, with Micoud mounting a late push but falling just short at the finish.

Micoud also delivered a spirited effort, led by Mekeige Joseph with 18 goals from 29 attempts and Clarise Nervais with 12 from 20. In the third-place match, Sir Arthur Lewis Community College defeated Soufriere Comprehensive Secondary School 28-25 after building a strong early lead.
