Vilamoura Golf Club is now the current holder of the main amateur club championship (which it will defend later this year), the under-14s (won this year), and now the Mid-Amateur one.

This year, the Mid-Amateur category included players aged 30 years and older, thus allowing more clubs to enter teams, so this time a total of twenty took part.

As a curiosity to emphasize, one of the club players, Ricardo Pereira was a former international goal-keeper and national football champion and now, so many years later, is a national champion of golf clubs, on the category of Mid-Amateurs.
