September 5, 2015 – HALIFAX, MA - Five contestants were on hand for this one. The weather was sunny, very little breeze with temperatures hitting the high seventies. 

Round one saw Neil Simpson and Matt Stas get off to good starts earning two cut and one cut wins respectively. In round two Neil stayed hot getting past Matt three cuts to one. In round two, after a slow start in round one due to a mid-air, Brian Stas got past Chris Sarnowski with a one cut win emerging as a contender in the process. At the halfway point Neil had the clear lead followed by Matt and Brian. In round three Neil and Brian faced off in a match that ended in a one cut apiece draw. In the same round Chris fought his way into the mix with a two cuts to one win over Matt. In the final round, Matt and Brian flew to one cut apiece draw while Chris was turning in a one cut win over Paul Kubek. In the final match of the contest Neil got past Paul two cuts to one. When the scores were tabulated Neil was first, Brian second with Chris just edging out Matt for the last trophy spot.
