After missing out on the Phikwe Extravaganza, Police IX men have redeemed themselves by winning the Archein Hardware Independence Cup that was held over the weekend at the National Stadium.

The women’s side was however a different story as Vikings overcame Police to claim the title. Police men qualified for the final after beating the defending champions, BDF IX 6-3 while Wells International booked themselves a slot in the final by defeating Vikings 7-0.

Police men walked away with gold medals after beating Wells 6-4 in the final. The champions walked away P20, 000 richer. Police women qualified for the final by beating BDF IX 7-2. However, the battle for the title was difficult for Police women as they were beaten by 5 runs to 4 by Vikings. Vikings walked away P20, 000 richer.
