There were four ladies and 10 men who played at the inter-club social event. As it was the first time it was run there was no format for the day but just social sets of the ladies playing together, the men, and then mixed which allowed organisers to get a feel for the gradings for future matches.
The winning club on the day was decided on the match between club presidents and their partners with Ulladulla's Pauline McIlveen and Kev Murphy defeating Garry McNally and his partner Deb.
Thanks go to Batemans Bay club member Mark Hood who sponsored the day by supplying the meat and salads for dinner after the matches. Ulladulla will host the next challenge in 4 to 5 weeks.
