The Edna Cropley trophy for the best nett score over the three rounds went to Kay Feaver with 229.
The championships were played under extreme conditions in week one – and the third round was held over because of more extreme weather conditions.

The A Grade and medal winner was Karen Adams with a nett 71, from Glenda Warren with a nett 72.
The B Grade winner with a nett 75 was Mildred Lyon and runner-up on a countback was Val Johnson with 76. Down the line balls went to Leanne Pollard 73, Faye Downward 76, Marg Purcell 77, while nearest the pins went to Glenda Warren on the fifth and Joyce Pierrehumbert on the 19th.
