Division one was won by Ian Simpson with 37 on countback from Doug Develin and Bob Taylor.

Derek Sheath won division two with 37 points on countback from Mike Wadley
, with Jim Barker third on 36.

Jack Lemmer, looking forward to his 103rd birthday later this year, was at the lunch and as usual his jokes caused great hilarity.

He has been a member of the club since 1967.

This competition also counts as the third qualifying round of the Fletcher Trophy, with the final to be played later this year.

The leading qualifiers are now Richard Hedge with 44 points, Bob Green on 36, Trevor Till on 36 and Paul Irish on 35.

* The veterans' section drew 4-4 at Rowlands Castle. It was the second occasion in recent away matches when the partnership of Clive Millett and Bryan Kingswell have won 7&6.
