In Group N, the Earl Marriott Mariners were tops, Van Tech came second, South Delta third and Mount Baker fourth.

The Handsworth Royals won Group P with Mission second, North Peace third and Kelowna fourth.

And in Group R, the Semiahmoo Totems were tops. Lord Byng came second, Oak Bay third and Lord Tweedsmuir fourth.
