Valiant got off to a flier with Alan Baldwin beating John Cooper, Geraldine Morle beating John McMonagle and Ray Jarratt beating Barry Diaper - all in three sets.

The only consolation for Tenacity was Cooper's wins over Jarratt and Morle, both in three sets, to save the whitewash.

Baldwin and Jarratt finished with a doubles victory over Cooper and Diaper in four sets.
