All Divisions were very competitive for the Bertie Gibson Memorial Trophy sponsored by Lamont Industrial Ltd. and played at Galgorm Castle Golf Club. There was seldom more than a point between Trevor Fletcher (15) and Lyle Foster (14) throughout the competition. At the Lowlands, the penultimate hole, Foster was still holding a one point advantage. Both players bogeyed the final hole but Fletcher with a shot advantage drew level and with a better back nine was the OVERALL WINNER with Foster the OVERALL RUNNER-UP.

Division 3
Through the front nine Lyle Foster (14) held a slender one point advantage over Trevor Fletcher (15). Owen Elliott (17) was another two points back followed by Brian Mahany (14) and Rory Drysdale (19) a further point down. Jonathan Keys (17) and Colin Thompson (16) were another one and two points respectively further back. Past the Devils Elbow and on towards Beechers Foster was proving hard to dislodge as he still held a one point advantage over Fletcher. Elliott and Drysdale were another four points behind with Keys and Mahany a further point back. Thompson was still in contention another point down. At the Grove Foster with two bogeys was still holding a one point lead from Fletcher (two bogeys). Elliott (par, bogey) was four more points back. Keys (bogey, par), Mahany (par, bogey) and Drysdale (double bogey, par) were another point behind followed by Thompson a further two points down. Foster and Fletcher finished with two bogeys each but the extra shot at the last proved decisive to give Fletcher with a better back nine the WIN OVERALL. Foster finished as the OVERALL RUNNER-UP. Elliott (two bogeys) came in three points back to WIN the Division but was being hard pressed a point behind by Keys (two bogeys), Mahany (bogey, par), Drysdale (two bogeys) and a late effort from Thompson with two pars. Second place went to Jonathan Keys with a better back nine and in third place came Mahany with a better last six. Thompson won the Seniors with a better last nine.
