Playing against Tojemarine, Confluence Stars displayed all the artistry in the book to win 28-27. It was a keenly contested game that could have gone either way but the Confluence Stars stayed strong to the end to beat the Lagos side.
D.Defenders compounded the woes of Owena Kings with another defeat as the Defenders won 24-18. Owena kings who are struggling so much in the league are yet to record a win in the second phase.
