Don Russell took out the honours on the day with a fine score of 21 points. He was followed home by Teri Swanbury and Robert McKirdy on 20 and Neal Watson on 18 following a six way count back for fourth place. Balls or chocolates went to Greg Smith, Bruce Ware, Annette Manton, Rick Brake and Les Johanson on 18, Ray Downey, Kevin Dukes, John Cox and Herb Muriwai on 17, and finally Paul Pereira, Leonie Snodgrass, Alan McLeod and Ian Wratten all on 16.
