Spread across seven divisions, players competed in teams of three for the overall honour of being crowned champion.

In the premier division team ‘‘2 Guys a Girl and a Squash Court” consisting of Jason Patmore, Heddwyn Abrams and Zoe Petrovansky defeated Mirrabooka Squash team in a close and enthralling match, played out on the club’s show court.
