๐ Division 2 featured Kings Royal Hussars, Royal Artillery B and Royal Navy A, with Royal Navy A coming out on top.
๐ Division 3 brought together Royal Air Force, Royal Logistic Corps and Royal Horse Artillery, with Royal Air Force securing the victory.
๐ Division 4 saw Royal Army Medical Services, Army and Royal Navy B compete, with Royal Navy B taking the honours.
