One point was the difference between first and second positions in the Blue Group Back Nine Seniors competition at Staverton Park as Paul Farenden (20) edged out Peter McMahon.
Fresh from his victory over the closing stretch in the Red Group seven days earlier, Ian Machell emphasised his capabilities on the Front Nine as he beat Trevor Tracey on countback with 20 points.
