Two teams were local - Hay Magpies and the Boyong Hunters Club - While Albury Blues Old Boys and the Vic Hotel Misfits travelled to Hay for the weekend.

Hay’s Tackle Box women’s team played out a demonstration match during the break, and at the end of all matches Hay Magpies Jasen Crighton was crown most entertaining player.

Life membership was bestowed upon Danny Byrnes and presented by Simon Parr. His accoutrements included jacket, tie, beret and an original Hannah Stewart portrait.
