Five pairs played Section Play for the shield donated by Ken Joyce in 1972.  On paper the favourites looked like being Clive Thomson and Roy Clark, but despite Thomson having breaks of 50, 45 and six other breaks over 25, they only managed to win one match, and so failed to qualify for the final.

The 2009 Annual General Meetings of the ABSA and the APA resolved that :

• there will be no travel subsidies available during 2010.  However this will be reviewed by the ACBS Executive during the year and hopefully some subsidies can be restored.
• there will be no free play on Wednesday nights available during 2010.  However this will be reviewed by the ACBS Executive during the year and hopefully may be restored.
• members’ table hireage has been amended as follows : 4 hours table hire for $10 (available all day, every day).  If patronage increases and general turnover also increases, this would help towards reinstating travel subsidies.
