Civics Suns vs Katutura Titans - 79 : 73
The Clear Essence Squad had an aweful start as they were outscored in the first two quarters. The rest of the game was a replay of the previous match between the two teams with the adding of a dunk by Suns' SG Mpume H on Titans' PG Vivien R which was at the WRONG place at the WRONG time!

Poly Blues vs NDF Carabinieri - 80 : 67
"He was hot, he is tough and he is BD da Silva!"
This was a tough match for the Carabinieri squad as the Blues were unstoppable in everyway, from the FT line to the 3pt line. Some might say that Carabinieri's MVP Paulus P was not fed on the post as often as usual and that led to their defeat, while some might say that Poly Blues' were just "ON"!
Carabinieri's J Shapumba was their highest scorer with 18 points ( 4 x 3pt), followed by Paulus P with 16 and S Justice with 15 (3 x 3pt), while Mandume S had 9 points (all from the 3pt line).

The Tomahawks MBA, the Civics Suns and the Poly Blues are the teams that went through to the 2nd Round of the KBA Cup. One of this teams is going to meet the UBC Rebels, which are one of the favourite contenders.
On the Women side, 1st round will be played with the men's 2nd round.
