With many apologies to the declared B Grade Champion Alan Smith, we got it wrong.  We determined the B Grade result on handicap rather than gross score according to club rules.  We (John Campbell takes the blame) should have declared the results as per the attached sheet which will see Alan and John play off for the title with a combined gross score of 187 for the two rounds.  Many apologies for the mistake – the play-off will take place on Friday.
