The female category was won by Georgetown Secondary School with the George Stevens Secondary placing 2nd.

In the Male Category, again, the Georgetown Secondary school claimed the championship, defeating the George Stevens Secondary school.

The prize giving ceremony was held on Saturday 20th June 2009 at the Girl's High School hard court to distribute awards for the competition and also for the 20098 Firms and Industrial competition held earlier this year.
