place went to Avinash Persaud (73 gross net 70), fourth place to Christine Sukhram (79 gross net 70) and fifth place to Fazil Haniff (83 gross net 70).
Best Gross was Avinash Persaud with a 73 and nearest to the pin was won by Alfred Mentore.

In remarks at the presentation, Shaneeza Lochan, the customer service associate of ECI, based at Friendship East Bank Demerara, expressed support for the club. In turn, club PRO William Walker thanked ECI for the generous sponsorship, while also acknowledging club member Matti Wesslin whose company, Wartsila, is working with ECI to construct a new generating plant on the West Coast.
