The A team went down 41-31 to visiting Phear Park A with a 23-14 defeat for the rink of V Fletcher, K Wakelin and J Porter and a narrow 18-17 reversal for P Compton, M Toms and N Denslow.

The B team were in action at Wellington A where they suffered a 50-25 defeat. P Woods, D Eldridge and T Dredge were beaten 21-17 and the rink of A Campbell, B Howard and W Kerr were defeated 29-8.

However, the club did very well in its friendly matches winning three out of four.
