On the other hand, Seniors B was losing 10-2 against England B but managed to make a great comeback where at one point they made the score 12-12. Unfortunately, the last ball was detrimental to the Maltese with the English team winning the contest.
Finally, the Masters A team was dominated by England A 13-1 in the other semi-final.
