In the other games played on Tuesday evening, Christchurch Domino Club after travelling to Cuban Bar in Lodge Project to meet the home team Unity Patriots Domino Club also struggled to come out victorious 13-10. In Saddlers Village at Shanty Bar, home team Saddlers Domino Club registered an easy win 13-4 over Guinness Domino Club. Small Corner Bar Domino Club picked up an easy six points (13-0 win) after Phillips Domino Club failed to turn up for their encounter that was slated for the Lodge Community Centre in Lodge Project.
