The scoring frenzy continued into the nightcap as Hamilton Princess edged BDA Spirits by the odd goal in 13.
Matthew Benson was the star of the show for the Princess, turning in an inspired four-goal performance to pace his side's offensive charge. Matthew Ingleman provided vital support with a well-taken double, while Matt Macphail chipped in with a solitary strike to keep Hamilton Princess in front.
