The Sighted division was hotly contested with John Clark returning two solid rounds to claim the win from Stuart Dolbel who just held off a much improved Greg Scott in a tense battle for the minor placings. Wendi Murrell continued her recent run of good form scoring an impressive win in the Compound contest with Karen Hudson taking second place with Ann Stubbs in third. Darrell Hudson continued his dominance in the Traditional event with Phillip greenwood grabbing second with Michael Patrick in third.
