The weather and the course were in perfect condition on Saturday for the final round of the club championships. All the men’s grades started out with at least two contenders as no-one had entered the final round with a significant lead, so there were some good tussles.

The A-grade net champion was Pell with 298 over Damien Humphrey two back on 300.
After recently moving to the area, Ciaran Fountain won the B-grade net champion for the first time with 306, four shots ahead of Bill Shaeffer-Steel. The C-grade net champion was also a first-time winner — Josh Beattie scored 324 to win with the next best Bill Keating on 330.
