He fended off the challenge from Inverness by beating David Joel by one shot (67) into second and Bruce Thomson (69) into third place.
There were three more Inverness members in the top six, Neil McPhie, Bob Gray and Ali Henry all finishing with 73.
Filling fourth place on his own with a 70 (37/33) was the season’s already triple winner Kyle Godsman.

The competition was won by Bill Sanderson with a net 64 from his 13 handicap. The winner won by five shots from club mate Jimmy Rogers.
