In Cowra Golf Club news the finalists for this year's Matchplay championships were decided on Sunday.
In C grade, Col Ridding defeated C grade club champion Warwick Spence 2/1.
The lead changed on multiple occasions before Ridding got the win.
In the other semi final Adam Roe survived a spirited fightback from Ticky Lee who two down most of the afternoon and then three down with four to go but fought back to take it to the 19th where a bogey was good enough for Rowe to get home.
In B grade Dave Thomas will take on Jim Bryant in the final after a win over Mick Skinner in the semi. Bryant defeated Geoff Wright in his semi.
A grade saw a red hot Mark Dixon get home 6/5 over defending champion Peter Kerwin. Keter was only 2 over on the 13th so wasn't exactly playing poorly but he met a red hot Dixon.
In the other semi final Pat Edenborough beat major sponsor Leigh Browne 4/3.
