FOR the first time in recent memory the A grade club championships will go to a play-off round after Josh Helson and Scott Turner finished tied after four days of play.

Held over consecutive weekends, the four rounds could not separate the pair as they both finished on 301.

They will return this weekend for another 18 holes to determine a winner.

Seventeen ladies competed in the club championships over the four days, with Viv Burton finishing the clear winner by 37 shots.

Burton also took out the A grade handicap title.
