Anna and Sarah played 3 events in December across the country getting results of 7th, 1st and 3rd.

December 19-20 was the Mairangi Grand Slam on the North Shore. There were 13 teams in the womens draw and Team Biopaints was seeded 4th. They won their first match 2-0 (15-10, 15-13) lost their 2nd match 1-2 (15-11, 14-16, 12-15) won their 3rd match 2-0 (15-10,15-3) and lost their 4th match 0-2 (13-15, 11-15). This gave them a 7th place and dropped them out on the first day meaning a quick flight home to Nelson to play in the Brightwater Classic the very next day! Seeded No.1 they proved it by winning the 1 day tournament comfortably, beating Peri Stenhouse and Melissa Duff in the final 2-0 (21-15,21-8).

December 29-30 was the Mauao Grand Slam on Mt Maunganui Beach. Anna and Sarah finished 3rd= after losing their semifinal to eventual winners Micah Lindsay-Brown and Hannah Croad 2-0 (21-17, 21-15).
