With a full Manchester Alliance field of 152 players, it was no surprise that Ellesmere pro Martyn Hamer had a nervous wait in the clubhouse after carding an individual score of 43 points and a score of 45 points with his amateur partner Steve Hindle.

Both scores were good enough to take both the individual Professional Prize and the Pro-Am prize on card play-offs.

Second place went to Cheadle professional Anthony Millar, playing with his amateur partner Nick Fletcher from Lymm, while the Withington pairing of Steve Marr and Kevin Hawkins took third place.

The Am-Am section produced clear winners as the Turton pairing of Steve McDermott and Neil Fairclough finished three shots clear of the field.
