In a close-fought final, which was decided on the 18th hole, Nathan Johnston won the day by two holes from Ashley Watkins, despite a good start by Watkins who took the first three holes.

On the day of the final, a tombstone competition was arranged and it was won by Adrian Crowley who ‘expired’ and left his tombstone on the 20th tee after completing 19 holes before running out of strokes. In second and third places were John Fogwill and Steve Williams who both left their tombstones on the 19th fairway.

In a mid-week par competition, Joe Jackson achieved a score of plus seven for victory. After adjustment, Clive Brown took second place from Arthur Kupfer after both finished on plus five.
