A near drought conditions prevailed at Victoria and Chamil Wickremasinghe excelled by getting a fine score of 63, a clear win over J.J. Ambani who got 71 and played to a handicap of 15.

The runner-up berth went to another schoolboy from the Gateway International School Sidath Hemachandra who carded 70 playing to a handicap of 20. His twin brother Sampath Hemachandra too excelled with a good 73 nett. Usha de Silva making her appearance at Victoria and playing to a handicap of 12 won the ladies event with a nett score of 69 and excellent under the dry conditions which prevailed. But she was closely followed by last year's Grand Prix winner Niloo Jayatillake and her sister Anusha Senadeera who both got 70 nett Regular participant Tibbline got 71 nett and Sue Rao 72.
