Corben didn’t get off to a great start with two bogeys but battled back with birdies on 4 and 8 to keep him in the hunt, while Deraney’s charge fell away on the back-nine as five bogeys in the last six saw him finish in tied-4th.

And while Corben tried to keep the pressure on Wormleighton, the 36-year-old held his composure brilliantly in the rain to win by three shots on -3 overall, finishing as the only player in the tournament under par.

Corben’s three rounds of 72 (level-par) earned him 2nd spot, with 2022 champion Stuart Archibald (Test Valley) picking up 3rd place on +2. Orsett’s own Shaun Mills had a fine last day as five birdies helped him to a score of -1 to finish tied-4th on +4, while another Orsett member in Jason Renton had an impressive final day as an eagle and five birdies helped him shoot level-par.

Elsewhere Andy Grimwood (St Neots) also landed five birdies in a round of -1 to rocket him up to tied-6th as only three players finished under par on day three.
