With only one team to go through directly to the National Final the team could not afford any slip-ups. Angus and James were in the starting seven for Invicta throughout the day, with Ben and Rhys substituting regularly as players tired. Invicta recorded comfortable wins against Exeter and Birmingham before facing reigning British Champions Dunfermline. Invicta went 2 nil down early but after steadying their nerves, pulled away to a 7-4 lead with only 4 minutes left on the clock.
