A report noted that the event featured teams from Cooper's Beach, Kaitaia Church Road,

The top prizewinners were, Toto Thompson, Val and Matt Jones (RSA) 4 wins, 24 ends, 56 points, 1; Alan Dow, Ian MacNee, Linda Freeman (RSA) 3, 21, 36, 2; Cedric Campbell, Sandy Edmonds, Teri Stout (Church/ RSA) 3, 24, 41, 3; Ron Payne, Dave Riddle, Nancy Page (Cooper's/ RSA) 3, 22, 46, 4; Lucky draw: Adele Gardner, John & Mary-anne Proctor (RSA).
Afterwards, FNRSABC president Ian MacNee thanked greenkeeper Max Foster for his efforts which ensured the green played so well, and also Christine in the kitchen for serving a beautiful afternoon tea.
