Abby Omari was in his best form over the weekend after firing the best score in a 18-hole golf tournament held over the weekend at Arusha Gymkhana Club course.

Playing off 11 handicaps, Omari fired unassailable four-under par 40 stable ford points to win the Division A's top prize after beating his closest challenger Reece Shah by four shots. Shah who played off handicap 11, finished the 18-hole thriller with 36 points to claim the Division A's runner up title.

Third overall was the 7 handicapper, Richard Gomes who penned 34 points to finish third overall. The weekend was flamboyant to Aliraza Kermali who claimed the Division B title after returning 40 stableford points, playing off 19 handicaps.

Following his impressive score, Kermali's handicap was chopped to 18. The event's runner up title went to Riyaz Somji who carded 37 points. 

Phillip Vrontamitis who played off handicap-18 finished third after posting 36 points. However, the tournament overall best scorer was a junior golfer, Aliabbas Kermali who fired a dazzling five-under par 42 points.

After an impressive show playing off handicap 36, Kermali's handicap was chopped to 33. His closest challenger was Prudence Kaijage who posted 40 points to claim the runner up title while Owen Maganga carded 35 points to finish third overall.

National ladies golf team ace Madina Iddi handicap-2 also had best weekend after grabbing Ladies Division's top prize with 37 points.
