The match played on the Moor Park grass courts was very competitive throughout with the IC of France taking a 5-4 lead in the tennis on the first day, eventually winning 8-7 after a thrilling final rubber with Paul French narrowly losing to Olivier Cayla in a very high quality match.

The Maharajah of Kutch Trophy was therefore won by the IC of France.

The golf match for the Le Touquet Golf Cup was played on the High Course at Moor Park and finished 2 matches all with one halved. The IC of GB retained the cup having won it two years ago in Coutainville. 

On the social front two successful dinners were held; on Thursday at the Bull Hotel in Gerrards Cross and on Friday an ‘official’ dinner at Moor Park.
