Suits you Shea!

Shea Brady lifted the JR McMahon sponsored Allen Cup with an unbeatable nett 62 score.

Brian Graham, from the Scotch Street mens clothing store, presented the young barman with the coveted trophy in front of a packed clubhouse on Saturday evening.

Playing off a handicap of eight, Shea produced his best round of the season so far to take the honours by two clear shots - Jimmy Quinn his nearest challenger with an equally impressive nett 64.

A dropped shot at the par three third hole was cancelled out by a birdie three at the par four fourth hole as Shea got off to a steady start. And with a second birdie at the par three ninth hole he was under par at the turn.

Shea completed a hat-trick of birdies at the 12th hole and in between an impressive run of pars dropped only one further shot at the 17th.

Shea's playing partner Jarlath McReynolds was equally in top form and off his 4-handicap produced a level par front nine and two under par back nine which included two birdies and an eagle at the par five 12th hole for a superb gross 68, nett 64 to win Category One. Stewart Stevenson was just a shot behind and lifted the runners up prize.

David Grimley's three over par front and seven over par back nine for a nett 65, won him Category Two with Johnny Palmer runner up with a nett 66.

And Ronan McWilliams shot his best score of the season to date for a nett 64 to win Category Three, Benny Simpson his runner up with a net 68.

Par-ful finish by Gervase

A two-over par back-nine finish to rack up 39 winning points saw Gervase Hughes grab the Club Stableford prize at County Armagh on Sunday.

The nine-handicapper was also only four over par on his outward trek which guaranteed him 18 points. And with that further 21 to add after 18 holes he was thoroughly deserving of his win.

Second placed Alan Hunniford will rue the double bogey six at the 17th hole. He too produced 39 points with 21 on his card by the turn, and adding 18 on the back nine where even a bogey at 17 would have won it outright.

Searing temperatures, blustery conditions plus a drying course which made it difficult to hold the ball on the greens, delivered further respectable category scores this week. Noel Murtagh took the honours in the 0-12-handicap category with 38 points - and that after failing to score at the last hole! Runner up was Neil Cromwell, back in the prizes with 37 points.

Mark Gilllen's 23 points back-nine for a 38 points total won the 13-18 handicap category, with runner up that Killylea man, Brian Loney picking up yet another prize with 36 points.

Rodney Lynas might have failed to register a score at the 17th hole but still won the 19-28 handicap category with 38 points, and J Quinn was a further point back on 37 with two no-scores at 13 and 18 on his card.

John Maguire however was not as wasteful obviously enjoying his golf, deservedly picked up the Best Gross with 34 points.

Prizewinners in the recent Co Armagh Club Stableford are John Maguire, Adam Cromwell, Neil Cromwell and Mark Gillen receiving their prizes from Club Captain, Brendan Smyth

Nicki turns on the style

Nicki Daly turned on the style at County Armagh to lift the prestigious Lonsdale Cup with a superb winning round producing a nett 63 score.

The 13-handicapper's six-over par round was two clear shots better than the huge field which had registerd for the annual Digby's Restaurant, Killlylea sponsored open stroke competition.

Even blustery conditions failed to deter the determined Daly who, on his outward trek, pencilled in five pars and a birdie two at the seventh hole. His two-over par tally at the turn however, was quickly doubled at the 10th hole with a double-bogey seven registered. But he followed up with a par at the next and back-to-back birdies at the 11th and 12th holes. Another double bogey at the par-four 14th hole threatened to ruin the day, but again he steadied the ship and with a bogey, bogey, par, par finish it was always going to take an exceptional score to deny Daly the trophy.

Jonathan Black, among the prize-winners the previous night in the Mixed Greensomes, was Daly's closest challenger - two shots adrift with a nett 65 score. The 21-handicapper produced a steady round with birdies at the fifth and 12th holes the highlight.

Five players produced scores of nett 68 and in the obvious countback it was Jim McKeown who just edged it in front of the others to take thrid prize.  Pat Brannigan's better back nine claimed fourth prize, his par at the 18th the ultimate decider. And Derek Little secured fifth with a four and five over par front and back nine respectively.

Paul McCann from Ashfield Golf Club was one of two visiting prizewinners on the day, his nett 68 taking sixth and pushing Darren Hughes to the back of the prize list.

Craig Talbot's house-shifting stress of late and back pain as a result, failed to deny him the Best Gross prize with a gross 73 - his better back-nine just squeezing out Mourne Golf Club's Stephen Barker who also returned a gross 73.
