However thanks to a fantastic performance by Mick Girling and Sandy Rumfitt who amassed a day's best 49 points the last place was never really a likelihood. Chris Nickels and Malcolm Cooke also returned a creditable 39 points. Other SDM team scores were Peter & Marja Chapman (37), Steve Edwards & Ulla Bischoff (35), Stu Deans & Judi Murphy (29) and Stu & Maz McGill (29)
