The action continues on Sunday, 7th June at 3pm at Guards, with Apes Hill taking on La Bamba de Areco. The final match will take place at Cowdray at the same time (3pm). Sumaya will face Habtoor.
The winning four teams will go through to the Semi Finals held at Guards on Wednesday, 10th June. The matches will be 3 and 5pm respectively.
