Giblett who plays off 19 has been a consistent performer over the past couple of months and looks to have certainly come to terms with his "new knees".
It took a countback for him to win the C grade stroke voucher when he counted out runner up Rob George after both finished with 68 nett.
The pair will now play off for the medal next month.
The best scratch score went to Paul Bailey with a 91.
A countback was also needed in A grade when winner Darren Hunter (2) counted out Travis Cameron (5) when both carded 67 netts.
With Hunter winning the stroke, Cameron then took the scratch with his 72 off the stick with the runner up voucher going to Shane Monaghan (9) on 69 nett.
It was a top round by Hunter who shot a three under par 69 and is coming into top form at the right time for next weekend's Lithgow Open.
The A grade October medal playoff was won by Blake Bender while this month's medal will be played off next month between Hunter and Cameron.Winner of the B grade stroke and medal was Lleyton Guest (15) who finished with 68 nett.
