The white tees group was split into 2 divisions with A flight (up to 20 H/Cap) being won by Glen Eldershaw (17) after a three-way count-back over Ger Lodge (18) in second and John Walsh(19) in third, all with 34 points. Fourth place went to Ted Morris (18) with 33 point and Gerard Doyle (10) completed the podium in fifth on 32.
Continuing his good form, Joe Peters (22) won the B Flight with 35 points, one ahead of Michael Seery (21) in second while John Kelly (28) was third with 33, Dan Hobbs (23) took fourth on 32 and Alec Smith (23) placed fifth with 30.
