Date: 24 August 

The first semi-final was played between Gstaad and Hublot, and unlike the previous games, this one was a close call.

They certainly performed much better than the previous game, but having no luck today, they lost the game by a single point.

Winners: Gstaad ( 7-6 )

The second semi-final was a high-goal contest between Kielder Agro Group and J. Safra Sarasin. The latter team also had a stain to clear after a crushing defeat in the first game. They certainly upped their game and went all out but were unable to hold their composure better than the opponents in the crucial moment and lost the game by a single point.

Winners: Kielder Agro Group ( 9-8 )

Final: Kielder Agro Group vs Gstaad
Date: 25 August 

The finals arrived, with both teams having been exceptional thus far and playing defensively the whole time. The game was low-scoring but every bit as exciting as the semis. Kielder once again had luck on their side and outplayed Gstaad, winning the cup by having one extra goal with them by the end of time.

Winners: Kielder Agro Group ( 6-5 )
