The competition was long and grueling as the teams competed in pool play followed by the two top teams participating in a crossover event. In the boys’ division, the powerful St. Georges team from Vancouver ended up on the top, closely followed by Shawnigan, West Point Grey and Brentwood. In the girls’ division, another Vancouver team, Crofton House, took top honors followed by Southridge, Brentwood, and Shawnigan.
