The SPA Shooting title was also up for grabs on the Saturday, with players asked to register qualification scores in breaks between singles games.  The four best players after the qualifying rounds were entered into seeded semi finals.  Colin Stewart beat Derek Adam in Semi 1 and Kevin Johnstone beat Johnny Wilson in Semi 2.  The 3rd and 4th playoff was cut short due to poor weather, with Johhny  taking 3rd.  In the final Colin rushed into an early lead which Kevin couldn’t quite make up for in the later rounds, allowing Colin to take the title.
