In B-grade Phil Sweeney - relaxing on the first days of school holidays - was victorious, winning the April medal with a round of 79 (65 net).

Simon Freeman carded the best score of the C-graders, finishing with a fine effort of 67 net.

C-grade specialist Kevin Johns finished second with a score of 70 (net).

The field of 42 was down from regular numbers, with shift work and school holidays taking its toll.

Meanwhile the front nine was the venue for Sunday's ball competition.

However numbers were again down, with only 10 players teeing off.

Jacob Smith was the winner on the day, producing 25 points to edge out Bou Shepperd (24).
