South Africa and England were closely matched with scores of 24-24 and 34-24 to England, but in the semi final South Africa won the rights by winning 28-26. Australia won the gold final in easy fashion winning 56-16.  The Mens category was the section to watch. The South African men defeated Australia in the first match with relative ease.
