Representing Gloucester were Division 2: Bev Fagan (singles) and Bev Murray and Al Minis (doubles).

In the doubles Gloucester started strongly with Bev Murray & Al Minis having a comfortable win against Forster 6-2. They then went down to Port Macquarie 2-7 before coming back convincingly 7-1 against Taree.
In Division 3 Gloucester again started strongly with Alec Bruce taking a win against Forster 7-6.
He then went down to Port Macquarie 4-7 before having a convincing win against Taree 7-2.

Well done to all players. It had been a great day both competitively and socially.
