For the Blue Team, the pairings of BJ Nadeem and Khalid Khan, Shahid Abbas and Khalid Chaudhary, Shoaib Bokhari and Dr Tashbeeb, Shahid Gondal and Asadullah Khan, Taha Mehmood and Naseer Akhtar, Ahsen Anwer and Zahid Hussain, Tanveer Karamat and HM Yousaf attained ascendancy over their opponents to secure two points each for their team and facilitate them to gain a winning advantage in the race for honours. While the Team Blue pairs provided the much needed victory tilt, the efforts of the individuals too helped to transform this advantage to ultimate victory. In the singles contest, the individuals who added a point each through their effort were BJ Nadeem, Shahid Abbas, Dr Tashbeeb, Sharjeel Awan, Shahid Gondal, Asadullah Khan, Naseer Akhter, Jaudat Hussain, Dr Mohsin Anwer, Abid Farooq and HM Yousaf. Half a point each was contributed by Abdullah Sharif and Tanveer Karamat.
The combination playing under the banner of the Team Red definitely ended up at the receiving end and conceded victory to the Team Blue but they had their good moments too as the pairings of Irfan Raja and Lt Gen (r) M Tariq, Abdul Islam Nazir and Ali Naeem, Tariq Malik and Hammad Baig and Hamid Sharif and Jahanzeb Khan had a decisive edge over their opposing pairs and showed their superior capabilities. Another positive aspect for them was that in the individual competition the two teams had compiled 12 points each. It was the advantage gained by the Team Blue in the pairs event that deprived the Team Red of victory. At the conclusion of the well fought Royal Palm Palmers Friendship Cup Golf Tournament, Abdullah Sharif, captain golf, gave away the prizes to the winners at the Royal Palm Golf and Country Club.
