TWO pairs blew the field apart at Royston Golf Club on Sunday.
With the course in excellent condition and weather to match, it was late starters Steve Rogers and Mial Walker who won the fourball betterball competition on countback with 46 points.
Their back nine finished with three straight birdies for 24 points, edging out Jason Nolan and Stuart Hunt.
Third place was also decided on countback with Gary Fortune and Alex Bridges pipping Colin Saban and Darren Dawson. Both pairs scored 41 points.
Colin Conner won his first Saturday Stableford with 37 points. With a mediocre first nine of only 13 points, he stormed home to beat former Junior Captain, Matthew Barrett on countback.
Third place went to the ever consistent Graham Richardson with 36. Chris Offer and Mick Freeman finished just out of the spoils with 35.
