Team 5 Garlick upset Team 1 Keegan, with wins for Jesse Keegan, Lawry Brayne, Lyle Davis, Tom Hickman, Steve Bigg, Craig Hausler, CYMS cricket gun David Neil and Michael Abberton, while Steve Elliot showed nerves of steel to stave off 12 match points and somehow come back to defeat Peter Brearley in five.

Team 2 Mahlo were very fortunate to beat Team 4 Kidson with wins for Glenn Atkinson, Lindsay Mahlo, Scott Baker, Graham Kidson, Murray Mcloskey, Kym Knight and Brock Gannon's debut was successful, thrashing the flappable Sonya Fitzgerald in four.

Newcomer Tom Belmonte did not cope well with the huge crowd or his opponent Steve Blackwood's crafty style and temper outbursts, with the veteran Blackwood going to work in an easy 3-nil win.

Team 3 Baker beat Team 6 Bevan with wins for the Baker bros Toby and Scott, Nathan Garton, Albert Cavalli, Troy Seers, Mick Curran, John Hannan and Jarrod Collett outlasted Phil Gould's long lost nephew Darren Wooding in five, while the deceptively-slow Rod Bevan looked gone at 2-nil, but somehow found inspiration to find another level to outlast Scott Burke after two hours on court.
