Police rallied strongly in the second quarter with a 15–9 response, while the final period ended in a balanced 12–12 stalemate, but Prisons’ earlier dominance proved decisive.

The warders returned to court with renewed authority in their second fixture, brushing aside Dynamite Netball Club 47–35 in an assured display that underlined their title credentials.
