He did however require a tie break to go in his favour for his victory that came courtesy of Gary Leckey (10) who also had 42 points but lost out on the back nine. Gary had a whirlwind start to his round, a one under par gross front nine giving him a fabulous 24 points.

Noel McDermott (21) was third, best of a trio on 40 points with Richard Hamilton (17) and Peter Deans (26) finishing 4th and 5th respectively and the 6th and final place went to Liam McCafferty (22) who scored 39 points, the best of four scores on that mark on the count back.

Connie McAllister (21) had 19 points on his back nine to give him the verdict over third placed John Flynn (16) a newcomer to the Society who seemed to have the competition sewn up until a disastrous blank on the 17th left him with 18 points on his back nine
