The ceremony began with an exhibition match between the league’s winners Petro Jazz and pre-tournament favourites Detour Shak Attack. The encounter went down to a nail-biting finish, but in the end.PetroJazz were forced to accept defeat. In his address, San Fernando Mayor Ian Atherley praised Petrotrin’s continued involvement in Marabella and the company’s other bordering communities.

San Fernando Deputy Mayor Malika Blair also praised Petrotrin for their efforts in “fostering community spirit and contributing to human development in the Marabella community.” During the prize giving ceremony which followed, the league winners were not  the only ones to walk away with prizes as awards for the  “Best of the Rest” and “Most Valuable Player” were distributed.
