Top of the pile was Mark Brewerton with 44 while playing off 8. Close behind on a wonderful 43 was Peter Triggs and back on a superb 40, and in third place was Stephen Muggeridge. 39 points found Allan Evans playing off three with yet another outstanding score.

There were only four twos posted on the day.

Although a diminished entry this year, the competitiveness of these warriors never ceases, and was proved in the final results.
