An enjoyable and competitive day for all involved lasting from 10 in the morning to 6 in the evening (a few hours later than planned, though not as long as last week), a total of 76 matches were played throughout the day, all first to win one game apart from the finals which were best of 3 games. These matches took place over four events mens singles with 10 entries, ladies doubles with 6 pairings, mens doubles with 12 pairings and an impressive 13 mixed pairings competing for the mixed title which was closely contested by Scott Webber and Wendy Higgins against Dave Edgar and Emily Staples (17-21 21-12 21-12).

A special mention this week goes to Rick Smith from Hawkshaw B.C. who played 2 semi finals and one final without having time to rest on his way to win the singles competition against George Jacobs (16-21 21-18 21-19) and narrowly missing out in a place in the final of the mens competition by losing to 21-12 with partner Adam Parker.
