Playing on Friday Tommy Green (5) was fourth on 32 and a better last six (bl6) thanks to a gross eagle at 17 than four other players.

First out at 7.30am, Joe Malley (12) won the Second Class with the best round of the weekend - 36 points - with a net eagle at 11 and net birdies at 8, 10 and 17. Runner up was vice captain Ian Kenny (14) who returned 33 points on Friday with net eagle at 14 and net birdies at 6, 11 and 13. Again playing on Friday Christopher MacDonald (15) was third on 31 points and bih than two other players.
