The two-day carnival put up some challenges to the carnival match committee but these challenges were over come and from all reports and comments from those that took part the weekend was a success.

Now to the results: 1st place went to the team of Jay Porter, Richard Clutterbuck, Chris Brodbeck and Reg Clutterbuck (Armidale City) with Five wins plus a margin of 51. 2nd place went to a composite team comprising of Todd Fuller, Chris Kliendienst, Dean Farrell and Braden Sole also with Five wins plus a margin of 49. These two teams were the only teams to have five wins. The other place getters were: 3rd place: R Berghofer, D Hungerford, J Barlow and S Barlow (Inverell RSM).
