Scott Campbell, the Vice-Captain of Emirates Golf Club, represented the 2024–2025 Men’s Captain, Joseph Andrade, who sent his apologies.

Campbell expressed gratitude to all participants and acknowledged the ongoing generous support from OMA Emirates and Unique Holding, while 2024–2025 Lady Captain Josie Tracey assisted in the prize presentation ceremony.

“I was a little concerned with the pace of play, with not everyone properly finishing in daylight following a 1 pm shotgun start. That is something we will all have to keep an eye on as the season progresses,” said Campbell.
