There were 30 4-ball flights during the championship with 28 (18-hole) encounters and two (nine-hole) encounters for seniors.

Interestingly the results ended in a 29-all deadlock with 14 Royalists and 14 Thomian golfers sharing the spoils. The seniors shared one point after their deadlock.

However, by virtue of Royal winning the encounter during the last two events, the Royal Team led by Suresh Subramaniam carried away the Fred De Saram Trophy. (AN)
