The afternoon competition was won by Jeremy Hilder (Div 1) 39 points, Craig Hendleman (Div 2) 39 points and Tom Turner (Div 3) 40 points. The overall Captain's Prize was won by Rolf Smith with his excellent morning score.

Almost £1,000 was raised during the day for the Captain's charity, The Alzheimers Society.
