For Auxilium, Rutuja Nalawade scored seven points while Harshi Jain and Siddhi Singh added five and two points respectively. Gokuldham's coach Arjun Appu praised his team's performance in the final quarter. "In the last quarter, I told my players to be more active on defence and more vigilant while passing," he said. However, the boys final ended in a one-sided affair with the Wadala outfit completing an easy win.
Vedant Shirvadkar, Nevan Barretto, Krish Jambhale and Deep Kadam scored four points each for St Joseph's along with Nishit Karade (three), Arya Dalvi (two), Nidhish Swamy (two), Vrushal Kulaye (two).
