The team of Tony Evans, Ian Randell and Nathan Day were worthy winners with a nett 60 closely followed by Glyn Griffiths, Scott Griffiths and Liam Fawcett with a nett 60.5. Third were Leigh Evans, John McKay and A Lewis with a nett 60.9.

The winner of the raffle for the golf bag was vice captain Gwyn French.

There was a field of 66 players competing for the Fisherman's Tribute 0-15 and Richie Cup 15-28 on Saturday. This was a medal competition with scoring once again difficult with a troublesome wind on a glorious, sunny day.

The wind did not trouble Craig Eva and Wayne Warlow, who both returned terrific scores of 69 nett each, winning their respective categories. Second place in the 0-14 category was Mike Beavis with a 74 and seemingly having no Ill effects from his trip down from Scotland. It was good to see Jim McGee at the top of his game with a 71 comfortably taking second in the 15-28 section.
