In this two round championship she reeled off scores of 81 and 85 to make a total of 165. Though she did not win the rounds individually her overall performance was easily the best. In February this year she won the Pam Fernando Trophy at the Donald Steel Golf Championship and followed up by winning the Tony Whitham Trophy at the Mark Bostock Memorial Golf Championship and completed a triple in gross events.

Sujeewa Lankatillake took the Club Championship for men getting combined gross total of 155. He got scores of 81 and 74. Sujeewa Lankatillake who has returned to the country after a stay in Dubai won the Ken Balendra Trophy at the Mark Bostock Golf Championship. With age he appears to be getting better.
