Sean's red-faced at six point win

SEAN Dougan was ever so slightly embarrased by his six-point margin of victory in the recent club stableford competition at County Armagh.

The Philip White Tyres Manager was miles ahead of the rest of the field in the penultimate stableford competition of the season after signing for 45 points. Nat McGeown,Andrew Miller and Alan Wilson were his nearest challengers, way back on 39 points each.

13-handicapper Sean got off to a flying start with 16 points chalked up after just five holes - a birdie three at the 5th hole boosting his tally - and he reached the turn with a massive 24 points.  that consistent scoring continued on the homeward trek where a further birdie three at the 14th hole set him on his way to 21 points from the back nine and that uncatachable total of 45 points.

Nat McGeown equalled Sean's back nine tally but was six points behind on the front nine as he carded a total 39 points for the runners up prize.

Club champion Andrew Miller brought home the category winners with 39 points in the 0-12 handicap group with Mark Loughran runner up on 38 points winning on countback.

Alan Wilson's 39 points also earned him first prize in the 13-18 handicap group with Brendan McKinney runner up on 38 points also.

And Rodney Villiers claimed first prize in the 19-28 handicap category with 38 points where Dudley Marjoram's 37 points earned him the second group prize.

Conor McGurgan produced the Best Gross (36pts) score.
