Mike Wallwork of Ringway Golf Club, last year’s champion, finished runner-up with 65 points, while Richard Bolger of Prestatyn Golf Club took third place on 62 points, ahead of Craig Cuthbert of Stand Golf Club, who finished fourth on countback.

Graham Bolton of Chorley Golf Club completed the top five with 61 points.

Aberdovey’s Gary Broadbent took first place in the overall nett competition with 64 points. Andrew Tait of Pleasington finished second with 63 points.

The daily honours went to Bruce Macfarlane of Belton Park, who recorded the best gross score on the first day with 31, and Gareth Bradley of Bramhall, who returned the best gross score on day two with 35.
