Crichton produced one of the best scores of the weekend, shooting 76 for a net 67, while Ian Lowery won Division Three with a net 72.
Competition remained tight in the I and T Hood Trophy, where Stewart Hogarth claimed first place on countback after matching Derek Smith’s net score of 65. Hogarth’s round of 75 off 10 edged out Smith, who returned 74 from a handicap of nine.
The Learmonth Trophy also proved closely contested, with Craig Charker taking victory after a fine gross 70 and net 67. Stuart McLean finished runner-up on the same net score, while Robert
