Andy Isle, who was six up at the turn, survived a stern fightback from Rod Thomason who took it to the last hole before losing 2 up.

Peter Watson was never behind against Jason Lee but had his lead cut to just two holes with four to play before he drained a long par putt on No 15 to eventually win 3/2.

Lewis Wilson was made to work hard to see off a strong challenge from John McGougan before getting home 1 up.

Dean Goodman proved too steady for Steve Russell in winning 4/3, while the wily Dave Huntley once again proved his matchplay prowess in overcoming Jonathan Tuheke 2/1.

Round two is next Saturday, (June 29). The draw will be sent out mid week.
