Each group merges with groups from the other clubs to form 4 mixed teams. These teams will wear pinnies of different colours. The 4 teams will play 20-minute, 7-a-side matches on the half pitch. The schedule would look like this:

2:15-2:35pm YELLOW v GREEN; ORANGE v WHITE
2:40-3:00pm YELLOW v ORANGE; GREEN v WHITE
