As far as the match went Black was three under fours. K. C. Ward was out in 36 and was 6 up against Armstrong at the turn. Armstrong reduced the lead to 4 up, by which, margin Ward beat him. Ward’s score was 76. Sime played one of his characteristic match play games and, finishing comfortably in 76, defeated Rana Wagg.

Going out Riley was 2 up at the 14th but was bunkered three times in the remaining holes, and Morpeth seized his opportunity and was in the greens in two. Riley was unlucky.
