Although Grange took an early lead when Barr's penalty corner shot went in off keeper Jamie Frail, Hillhead equalised seven minutes later, through a set piece strike from Wei Adams. But goals from Euan Milne, Johnston and Barr gave Grange a comfortable win.

Western Wildcats devoured Aberdeen Asset Management 9-0, the goals shared by Douglas Simpson (5) and Scott McCartney (4), while champions Glynhill Kelburne demolished Edinburgh University 8-1 with doubles from Jonny Christie, Gareth Hall and Mark Ralph. Greaves Clydesdale ended their indifferent run of results with a 2-1 win over VWS Dundee Wanderers on Tayside with goals from Raymond Wright and Ben Paterson. Mike McKenzie scored for Dundee.
