Teams battled for early domination, effectivel­y paving way for a great sports and business networking platform in the Capital City.

While the first round of games saw some upsets and new teams emerging as early dominators, the second round will also have its share of fun and excitement.

“We can clearly see from the results of the first and second rounds that newer teams are emerging as stronger opponents,” games co-ordinator Adi Areta of Bula Events Group said.
