At the end of the preliminary round, Vieux Fort Comprehensive Secondary and The St. Lucia Sports Academy topped their respective groups.

At the conclusion of the Festival trophies were awarded to the following schools.
Fourth Place – Soufriere Comprehensive

This is the second year the Festival has been staged, with Leon Hess Comprehensive winning the inaugural one.

This was coupled with a high quality of skills displayed. Congratulations to everyone.
