This was a hard fought very amicable contest between Tony P Griffiths (12) and Connor McKnight (16).

With Tony two up standing on the 10th tee box, Connor birdied the tenth and eleventh to even up the match. However, the match then swayed back and forth over the next six holes before Tony eventually took the honours by 2 holes to 1.
