The Cresswell Cup and Toby Richards Trophy were contested on Sunday in bleak conditions at Templeton Golf Club.
Despite the poor conditions both matches were hotly contested and provided for some good entertainment on a very cold and wet Sunday.
In the Cresswell Cup, Templeton Cup Champions Kaiapoi Black came out on top over Metro A Champions Avondale 5.5-2.5 in a match that went down to the last couple of holes.
The Kaiapoi Black team of, back row Greg Stringer, Simon Hodge, Paul Hughes, Wayne Robertson, Nathan Lynskey, Ken Harvey and front row Ash Cowlishaw, Jamie Maat and Ben Young are pictured above.
The Toby Richards Trophy was claimed by Patterson Cup Champions Tai Tapu over gallant Metro B Champions Bottle Lake 5-3 in another close contest. It was the fourth consecutive victory for the Tai Tapu club in this event.
