Frosty conditions and temporary greens were no challenge it seemed for Martin Vincent as he shot 40pts in the Gold Division of the Stableford played over the East course. Lee McCreedy with 38pts took the runner-up spot, with Rob Sargent just securing third place from Dave Cox on countback both having shot 36pts.
In the Silver Division it was a close run thing with Dean Sullivan in the last group of the day shooting 43pts, pipping Dave Simpson who shot 42pts. In third place it was Lawrence Beckett on countback from Connor O'Dowd both having shot 39pts.
Our old friend countback was busy at work once again, this time in the Ladies Winter medal, when it was employed to separate the winner of the Silver section Jo Eldridge, from runner-up Anne-Marie Forrester both having totalled nett 76's. In the Bronze section Betty Galbraith took top spot with a nett 76.
Dave Assirati hit some form to amass a winning total of 40pts to cruise to victory in the Midweek Stableford.
Dave Sullivan Snr took the runner-up spot with 37pts,
Pat Melly took third place on countback from
Andrew Nixon both having shot 35pts.

The European Tour remains in Asia this week for the inaugural True Thailand Classic presented by Black Mountain at Black Mountain Golf Club in Hua Hin, Thailand.
After last week's Maybank Malaysian Open, a number of the European Tour stars have travelled to Thailand to contest this event. Malaysian Open winner Anirbarn Lahiri makes a start in Hua Hin, so too do veterans Thomas Bjorn and Miguel Angel Jimenez.
Bjorn is keen to play at Black Mountain GC which has earned a great reputation amongst the Scandinavian European Tour players, many of whom have used it as a base for winter training.
"A number of European Tour players have an association with Black Mountain and the reports I have heard suggest it will be a very strong venue," he said.
The 43-year-old Dane has won 15 times on the European Tour across the globe, but he has never claimed a title in South East Asia. He'd love to set that record straight this week.
"Winning around the world is what makes you a truly global player," he said. "And I would love to add Thailand to the list of countries where I have won."
Miguel Angel Jimenez won in Thailand the last time he played in the country on the European Tour - the Johnnie Walker Classic of 2004.
"I love playing in Asia," he said. "I'm excited about visiting Hua Hin for the first time."
The 51-year-old comes into the event on good form, having won recently on the Champions Tour.
A number of on-form European Tour players are on the start sheet this week. Alejandro Canizares of Spain will tee it up after his tied third place finish last week in Malaysia. Marc Warren is also set to play in Hua Hin. The Scot was runner-up in Qatar, tied 13th in Dubai and 9th last week.
The course at Black Mountain was opened for play in 2007 and is sure to be a spectacular venue for this inaugural championship. The weather forecast looks set fair so the players should have superb conditions.
Player Watch:
Alex Noren - The Swede seems to be back to something like his best after being plagued by injury through 2014. He was ninth in Qatar and then runner-up in Dubai. He could go one better this week.
Marc Warren - He's on great form right now, with two top-10s (including a second place) in his last three starts. When he's on his game he's a match for anybody.
Wade Ormsby - The Australian is bubbling under the surface coming into this event. We know he can play - a tie for fourth in last year's Turkish Airlines Open proves that. He's started 2015 slowly, but a tie for 11th last week in Malaysia where he finished with a 67, hints that Ormsby might just be coming onto a game.
Key hole: 14th. A par-3 of 192 yards, there's an amazing prize up for grabs on this short hole. There's a 12-million Thai baht (£250,000) town house for anyone who can score a hole-in-one!
