The side beat Ellerston – who have only won one game so far in the competition – on Saturday.
The following day started with the first win for Talandracas, while defending champions Zacara clocked their first loss of the tournament against Piaget. Richard Mille and Coca Cola came up against each other in the last match of the day, where Richard Mille secured their first win of the tournament.
