Play commenced at 2 pm with players paired by random selection and placed in one of two sections.

The winners from each section then played a final match which was very entertaining for the spectators. James Boyle and Lynsey Smythe proved too strong a pairing for Derick Jenkins and Caireen McCloskey.
