Richard Dwight

Mithun Perera, last year’s National Golf champion who was dethroned in early November this year to be placed seventh, made amends somewhat to maintain his reputation as a player of class, by winning 3 awards at the North East Monsoon Golf competitions held over the last two weekends at the Royal Colombo Golf Club.

This four-day tournament involves varied competitions and held annually during this part of the year, witnessed Mithun coming into his own to win the annual Gold Medal Competition, the RCGC Centenary Trophy and the main event for the Sri Lanka Insurance Trophy.

Caesar Fernando was impressive winning the Mackinlay Quaish and the C.Division title. The Clifford Cup was won by Tien Fatt whilst the other winners of the respective competitions were Julian Wilson, Don Indran and C. Dias.
