The teams' match was won by the Navy, with a score of 297. The winner of the trophy for the highest gross score was D. G. B. Morison. Colonel C. H. Weston, who represented the Returned.Soldiers' Association, apologised. at the prize-giving for the absence of Colonel Cowles, who was unable to be present. He congratulated the winners, and said that in future only bona fide members of the Returned Soldiers' Association would be allowed to compete.
