Die 1ste span het Hoër Meisieskool Bloemhof van Stellenbosch Saterdag met 4-0 in die eindstryd in die Paarl geklop. Oranje het al die oorwinnings behaal sonder om ‘n wedstryd in die enkelspel of dubbels af te staan. Hulle wen 7-0 teen Hoërskool Menlopark en Afrikaans Hoër Meisieskool Pretoria en 4-0 teen Rhenish Girls’ High School van Stellenbosch in die halfeindstryd.
