Geoff Cameron rounded out the podium with 33, counting out new member Russell Lewis, also on 33.

Second division went to Williams with 35, from Alex Juokoff on 29 and Bruce Packer 27.

The “coveted” Ross Orchard trophy went to Richard Neale and Russ Lingham.

An energetic Barry Brook won the Scotch, bringing glee to his fellow travellers.
