Tony Ambrus (10) kept his hot run going to take out A Grade with +5, while Glen Viney shot the best score of the day, +6, to win B Grade.

Bec Hendrix (44) played fantastic golf to win C Grade with +3, while a score -2 won a ball down the line.

David Wylie (22) also got the putter hot on bumpy greens with a respectable score of 36 points to win Division 2.

A score of 31 points was required to win a ball.
