Kapit was represented by Patrick Alexius Uda, Joseph Arthur, Leo Johnical, Mohd Al-Fitri, captain Sng Chee Hun, Glyn Chengai, Max Wong and Ahmad Adham.
SLTA president Dato Patrick Liew gave away the prizes. Actually the shortage of tennis courts is the biggest stumbling block to the development of the sport in Kapit. However, without tennis facilities, Kapit proved that they still can be champion in Sarawak Inter-Division Championship.
