Another man with seafaring connections finished as runner up, Alan Soady, just pipping Brian Horton on countback with 71s.
On Sunday the Nadin Rowe Cup was played this time in a very good conditions, resulting in some very good scores. Terry Pratt with a net 63 took the honours - he has been threatening to do something special for some time and today was his day. Ian Soady who has been 'sparkling' over recent weeks with a 64, finished second, whilst it was nice to see one of the "old" boys back on form and storming back which saw Pete Stokes in third place with a 65 with John Scott just one further back in fourth place.

Colin Hough was next best on 41 points.
