Dave Powdrill produced an impressive 44 points to win the men’s section, while runners-up spot required a countback to separate Elliott Watts from Martin Tustin after both finished with 42 points.

The inaugural Scratch Open at Norwood Park saw the host club’s Lee Molloy win with two excellent rounds of (gross) 69 and 70.

Newark junior Ben White won his first competition when he claimed the Slaney Rollitt Cup after scoring 39 stableford points.
