Summary

On April 9, the Weathermakers faced the Noritake Porcelainmakers in the inaugural double-header of the PBA at the Araneta Coliseum with a sellout crowd of 18,000 watching, the Carrier Weathermakers lost the game with a score of 101–98. Gregorio "Joy" Dionisio scored the very first basket in PBA history.[1]

The Weathermakers struggled throughout the First Conference hovering around a .500 record, they missed the playoffs entirely and finished as the 5th seed. In the Second Conference, they struggled even more and finished with a disappointing 6–15 record and missed the playoffs again.

Lim Eng Beng, Gregorio Dionisio, and Ramon Lucindo were all selected to participate in the PBA Ovaltine dream games.
