The Plate final was a much tighter affair; Turks Head Saints and Ormskirk Tennis Club began level on handicap and the Tennis Club led for five rounds but the Saints caught them in the sixth and after eight rounds the scores were level so a 9th round had to be played with the Saints winning it 6-5. Top scorers were Paul Prior (21) for the Tennis Club and Barbara Flaherty (15) and Kevin Walton (13) for the Saints.
