They were left all-square during the match, when the light deteriorated.
The situation led to the two circuits sharing the first and second prize monies, walking away with N$1 050 each.
Shinyungwe circuit came third, walking away with N$700.
Organising committee chairperson Paulus Mutangara said he was satisfied, saying the tournament was a success as they achieved what they hoped to - bringing all 13 circuits in the two regions together.
“The main purpose of the tournament was to bring teachers from both regions together, which will encourage school learners to love sport, as sport bring people together.”
Mutangara thanked the sponsors of the event, including First National Bank, Standard Bank and Rapids FM, for the support.
