The Shield final saw KV Rangers marginally get over the line against Puffins as they beat Puffins 26-19. Puffins took the early lead through Janith Chanaka but KV Rangers did not let the lead get the better out of them as they came from behind to register the win and take home the Shield.

Black Hawks easily over came Keterians as Black Hawks scored 4 tries in the process. Black Hawks 21 beat Keterians 10.

The Plate final was a tight affair as the game was tied at 10 all at the end of normal time. As the game headed to extra time both teams felt the heat of the occasion but neither team could find the illusive points even at the end of the first half of extra time. Army Archers did not let fatigue get the better out of them as they managed to find the one illusive try to register the win 15-10.

The Cup final was a once sided affair as Navy Sea Horses made easy work out of Army Dragons. The Sea Horses scored with just minutes in to the game as Ruwan Kumara made a dashing run down the near touch line to touch down for the first try of the game. The Sea Horses scored 6 tries in the game while converting three of them.
