In the morning pairs competition the Hillas Trophy and the prize for Best Scores went to Gilmour McKellar and Ian Ashworth of Technology for Timber.

After lunch, Mark Hutchinson of North Yorkshire Timber won the Summersby Salver for 15 and under, with Nick McCluskey of Miller Homes winning second prize. James Southern of MH Southern took the prize for nearest the pin and the longest drive went to Alan Preece of George Harrison.
