Wet weather played its toll on the field, although the rain did stay away for the majority of the day and certainly didn’t affect A-grade scratch winners Murray Flannigan and Glen Foster with 72.
Nett winners in A-grade were Glen Heyes and Brendan McLeod with 67.
There were some quality scores in B-grade with the scratch winners Gary Chapman and Colin Holden having scored 79 and the nett win went to Shannon Bowe and Keith Stirrat with a great score of 65.
It was a tough day for the C-graders, although not for Robert Matthews and John Olsen who took home the scratch with 89.
The nett winners were Troy McCord and George Norris with a good score of 70.
Nearest-the-pins on the third hole went to Glen Foster in A-grade and Shannon Bowe in B-grade, and on the 18th to Adam Jackson in A-grade, James Schofield in B-grade and George Norris in C-grade.

The Stonebridge Veterans played the second round of their championships on Thursday. An individual stroke competition was played in conjunction with 58 players participating.
Ron Bostock was the winner with a net score of 63. Playing off a handicap of 29, Ron had a wonderful day highlighted by birdies on the par-three third hole and par-four sixth hole.
In second place was new member Ian Lyall with 64. Ian joined the club two weeks ago and with rounds of 65 and 64 his handicap has tumbled from 36 to 22.
In third place on a countback was Tom Bell with 66. Tom had the hard luck round of the week. He had a nine on the second hole and then recovered to have 35 off the stick on the back nine. This included an eagle three on the par-five 13th hole, two birdies and four pars.
Nearest-the-pins on the third hole went to Jim Saxby (A-grade), Geoff Boyd (B-grade) and Ron Bostock (C-grade), and on the 18th hole, to Steve Moore (A-grade), Gnome Clark (B-grade) and Ian Lyall (C-grade).
The ball competition went to 76 with 36 balls handed out.
Results of the championships will be revealed at the presentation lunch on December 17.
