Neil Garbutt, who teed off in the morning and played free of the heavy showers that fell later on, won with 37 Stableford points, followed by two 12-year-olds, Charlie Abbott and Ben Brown, who each scored 35.

The event was sponsored by local brewers, Theakstons, who supplied most of the prizes - and therefore alternative prizes had to be found for Abbott and Brown.

Leo Meaney placed fourth and Alan Sturdy fifth, a further point behind.

Otley members, Mike Silverwood, Paul Darby and Robert Leach scooped all three prizes between them for nearest the pin.
