Heavy overnight rain led to carts being banned and a reduced field turning out on Saturday. While conditions were less than ideal both players had decisive wins.
The daily competition was restricted to one division with Nathan Nancarrow taking the spoils with a fine 68 net; second went to Steve Hall with 69 on a countback to David Preece who also survived a countback for third.
Ball winners were Mitch Todd 69, Angelo Korvelic 70, Mathew Cartwright 70, Andrew Russell v73, Troy Wallis 74, Kevin Smith 75, Sue Peel 76, Bruce Chambers 76, Gerry McLaughlin 76 and Brad Borham 76.

Play of the Day went to Peter Wilson when trying to recover his ball from the dam near the 14th green. Peter slipped into the water; luckily his group and another were on hand to offer assistance (once the laughter had stopped!). He did recover the ball, but not sure it was worth it!
Next week the vets will play a stroke.
