The combined scores for the judges were as follows: for the Proposition, the Bygeval Secondary School Youth Group, 174.6 points (Average), and 158.3 points (Average) for the Opposing side, St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Church Youth Group.

After the dust settled, Mr. Ray Duncan of the Bygeval Secondary School Youth Group copped the Best Debater award for this matchup.
