Fairlawns prize is just reward for Noel's fair day's work
Noel Murtagh was the popular winner of the Fairlawns Residential sponsored stableford at County Armagh.
The 12-handicapper signed for 43 points to win the competition prize which was presented by Fairlawns' Clare Cassidy at the clubhouse on Saturday evening.
Opening his round with three pars, Noel's steady scoring saw him chalk up 21 points by the turn. Back-to-back birdies at 12 and 13 got him off the a similar excellent start to the back nine which yielded a further 22 points for that winning 43 total.
Robert Fagan was runner up with 41 points, his better back nine score taking the prize ahead of James Johnston, Patrick McElmeel, John Sheehan and Noel Muldoon who all returned 41points also. But it could so easily have been Robert's name in lights had he not failed to score at not one, or two but three holes!
James Johnston's 41 points earned him the 0-12 handicap category first prize, two points ahead of runner up Shea Smyth who got off to the best possible start with a birdie three on his way to 39 points.
Patrick McElmeel won the 13-18 handicap category with 41 points and that after failing to score at the 6th hole. But his better back nine pushed John Sheehan into runners up position after he too carded 41 points.
Noel Muldoon was the other 41 pointer and deservedly picked up first prize in the 19-28 handicap category, three points better than runner up Paul Kelly.
And once again it was Jarleth McReynolds who collected the prize for the day's best gross score, 37points.
