22 bowlers competed in the Nissan/Breakaway Selected Triples and Ron Hill, J Bracken and Duffo claimed 1st prize. A Cooper, J Sawtell and Bruce Mason were second with Paul Michel and Peter Meehan the Lucky Losers. The Lucky Bowler was Bosworth Ruane but he failed to draw his rink for the Jackpot.

Fri the 13th was not the unlucky day for Wayne Bolton, Ken Summerville and Urky who took out the major prize. Harry Rauchenberger, Mino Bettanin and Charlie Potter were second and Roger McGuigan, Owen Smith and Bosworth third. Syd Campton, Chris D’Elboux and Harry Boston were the Lucky Losers. Again, Bosworth was the lucky bowler and showed his usual consistency, repeating his Wednesday performance in missing the Jackpot.
