This time the 40 players were very evenly matched resulting in the closest contest yet. Ater 4 hours and 30 sets the difference was only one game. It couldn't have been scripted any better.

Originally it was thought Batemans Bay had won on the day but after a closer inspection of the results the scores were 15 sets each and the Ulladulla club had won 136 games to Batemans Bay's 135. Bringing home the bacon for MUDTA, winning their three sets were Paul Woodcock, Ben Van Lierop and Ruth Van Lierop.

Once again, it was great to see so many new players participate, some making up the numbers for the Batemans Bay club. The next challenge is scheduled for August 24 in Batemans Bay.
