GLOUCESTERSHIRE and Somerset PGA captain Nick Ellis claimed his second win of the season at Long Ashton with a one-over-par round of 72.

The Naunton Downs professional finished two shots clear of George Ryall, of Players Club, when a field of 30 returned to the Bristol venue after a couple of years away.

The gales of the previous two days died down, but it was still windy so no-one matched par.

Ellis made birdies at the eighth, fourth, 16th and 18th holes, but dropped shots at the first, second, third, ninth and 17th.

However, he strengthened his fourth place in the Total Triumph Order of Merit.
