Neil sizzles in Indian summer
NEIL Cromwell is making the most of the Indian Summer at County Armagh.
The 2-handicapper was in sizzling form to win the latest stroke competition with a superb nett 63 score.
With eight birdies, eight pars, a bogey and a double bogey signed for, he was always going to be the one to catch.
Nat McGeown (10) gave it his best shot returning a nett 63 also, but Neil's four under par back nine easily edged the result on countback.
Joe Rhodie's nett 64 deservedly earned him third prize, just beating Johnny Brown on countback after he too signed for a nett 64
Kieran Donnelly picked up fifth with an impressive nett 65 of his 7 handicap - his better back nine beating Art McCrory, also on nett 65, into sixth.
STABLEFORD
Cromwell's winning form was continued into the next day when he again produced the best gross score, his 36 points winning the Sunday stableford event.
However, it was Miceal McParland who was to be top points scorer on this occasion, returning 42.
Tom Calvert was just a point behind on 41 points but deservedly walked away with the runner's up prize.
Kieran Murray also followed up on his previous day's impressive scoring in the club championship to claim the Category 1 prize with 39 points. Paul Doyle returned the same 39 points but conceded to Kieran on countback.
Mark Gillen's steady scoring for a 40points total, saw him take the Category 2 first prize with John McAleavey runner up.
And in Category 3 it was Patrick Hughes who claimed top prize with 38 points – two better than runner up Glenn Baird.
