Alistair Sawers, playing off 13 (now 11!), produced a brilliant performance in this year's re-vamped competition. He scored a net 68 on the Championship Course in tricky conditions, to win the handicap trophy by 2 clear shots. This was built on a superb outward half of 38 and his round included no fewer than 3 birdies (including two 2s). Alistair wins, in addition to the trophy, an £80 voucher.

On the Buddon, Steve Grant (14), scored a highly creditable net 65, to finish tied third in the Bowl.
