Captain Joyce Marshall led the team of Benji Tipace, Keiko Pogoni, Rick Notley and Alastair Pearce.

Final points in division one were Misfits 32, Sportsworld 23, Curtain Specialists 22, Young Ones 19, Not Just Hats 16, Wellsford 14, and Goat Is Dive 12.

In section two Warkworth was again to the fore with the Warkworth Composite Joinery side coming through unbeaten.
