Hobsons Bay Junior Players Max Clerk and Julian McIntyre were also among the prize winners.
James Morris (1st) with trophy
Bruce Williams (2nd)
Thanks to all who participated, but most of all to Tony Davis who organised and ran yet another very successful event. I’d encourage all Tuesday night regulars to give Best in the West a shot next year, it is always a thoroughly enjoyable weekend.
