Club captain Alec Aspden and president Ken Pott were on hand to present the prizes.
And special thanks were again expressed to greenkeeper Damien Hartley and his staff for working miracles to get the course fit for competitive play.
Organiser Steve Bird also thanked Gary Collinson, Steve Wyatt, Stewart Bird and Andrew Miller for their help on the day.
Collinson won the Towneley Trophy the previous day with an excellent score of 77-10-67.
Anthony Patton (77-9-68) was runner-up with club steward Ronnie Catlow (82-13-69) third and the winner's brother, Noel (86-17-69) in fourth spot.
