At night, a formal dinner was served in honour of the Aitchisonians. Souvenirs were exchanged at the occasion. Principal Lawrence College, while addressing the gathering, said that the purpose of these traditional fixtures is to develop friendship and sportsman spirit. We play with Aitchisonians and not against them. He further added that Aitchisonians are always welcomed to Lawrence College and they should consider it as their second home.

The Aitchisonians also played very enthusiastically but failed to score any goal, the final result being 4-0.
We warmly congratulate our teams, coaches and staff for putting up such splendid display of sporting prowess. We also congratulate Aitchison College teams for putting up a very good display and giving our teams a tough time in all events. We also appreciate their sportsman spirit.
