The trio finished with a total team score of 442.8 at the end of the two-day event. The host team was closely followed by the Narmada Golf Links squad of Pradip Patel, Vijay Chauhan and Sudhir Patel who with a total score of 445 ended runners-up.

Overnight leaders, Poona Golf Club were relegated to the third spot with a score of 453.

It was a fine comeback for BPGC as they were struggling at fifth position after the first 18 holes yesterday. But things changed remarkably today as they seemed to find their rhythm back. Castellino, with a net score of 70, was most impressive amongst the winners. Teammate Bendre also won a prize for best individual score in the 17-24 handicap category with a gross score of 186. ``I was bit nervousyesterday but today was different,'' said a smiling Bendre after the match. He attributed his better tee-shots and short game for the good performance today.

Also among the individual winners were Willingdon Sports Club's Akshay Kilachand with a gross of 158 (handicap 0-9 category) and Poona Club Golf Course's Kumar Gera, gross 165, in the 10-16 category.

The teams of BPGC and Narmada Golf Links now move east, to Calcutta, for the National finals to be played on December 5 & 6.
