Notching up the Ministry of Agriculture’s lone win was Baptiste, who beat Jack 11-1, 11-5.

The other half of the semi-finals resulted in a 3-1 win for National Mobilization over the Ministry of Health.

Jeffers beat Shafana Williams 11/6 11/4 and had an 11-1, 11-3 topping of Asquith Ballah, with London outplaying Jamel Providence 11-8, 11-7. Ballah, though, defeated Young 11-3, 11-5.

The Ministry of Reconciliation joins the Ministry of Transport and Works, which pouched the Street 20/20 cricket and the football components of the Inter-ministerial Games’ calendar.

The month of September would see the discipline of netball being contested among the various ministries.
