The Boorowa Ex–Services team of Lisa Arber, Barbara West, Lorraine Bales and Yvonne Murphy defeated Karen Glover, Patricia Walker, Diana Walsh and Diane Peisley from Harden 28-8 in the other game.

The final was a much closer contest with the score at 10–all after 10 ends. The Young team scored 7 shots on the 14th end to lead 21-12.

Boorowa fought back and after 17 ends the score was 22–17 and either side could win.
