The day was marked by two ties, dominant performances from table leaders, and gripping finishes that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
The day commenced with a 24-24 tie between Himalayan Tahrs and Konark Kings. The table-toppers, Tahrs, started strong but faced a fierce comeback from the Kings, who nearly pulled off the win.
