In the Quarter-Finals St Michael's faced Handcross Prep School. The boys continued to improve with each game, creating several chances before converting one to win and advance to the Semi-Finals against Amherst School. This was a closely contested match, with both teams having opportunities at either end. Eventually, St Michael’s broke the deadlock, winning 1-0 and booking a place in the Final.

In the Final, St Michael's played against a well-drilled Skippers Hill School side. St Michael's conceded a goal and, despite creating numerous chances to get back into the game, were unable to convert, ultimately finishing as runners-up.
