Rocky scored in the first minute of the game and controlled the play for the first ten minutes. The boys came around and started to take over the game.
In the second game Stettler tied the eventual gold medallist Hinton team 1-1. Hinton scored in the first half with Frank van Ommeren tying the game on a penalty with ten minutes to play.
