The Alternative Division match was played at the Eastern Regional Indoor Sports Arena in Tacarigua on Tuesday night.

The quarter scores read 14-7, 25-16 and 37-25 all in favour of Holiday Snacks.
Jocelyn Marcelle completed her role as the goal-attack very efficiently, supporting her shooter well while also adding the other seven goals off 10 tries, to aid in the 13-goal win. Prisons' shooting responsibility was shared between Maria Lewis, who connected 22 from 39 and Rhonita Williams. She put in 15 off 22.
In the other match, Michelle Boyce was not as accurate as she had hoped to be but her 26 from 54 was enough to bring success for Fideas team.
