As with the R A Cups a few weeks ago, a father and son combination came out on top. The Tipton Cup is a very tough format – a foursomes medal. Conditions were hard and the light failed badly towards the end of the round.

The winners were Steve and Grant Watkins with 96 – 21 = 75.

Runners up were Simon Gumbley and Martin Spurin with 95 – 19 = 76.

In third spot were Allan Morton and John Ball with 102 – 25 = 77.
