Big Cup for Big Brian
BIG Brian Loney had the big Connolly Cup to collect after winning the annual competition for 16 and above handicappers.
Mrs Patricia Connolly presented the trophy at the County Armagh Clubhouse after congratulating Brian on his winning round.
His nett 64 was two shots better than his nearest rival Mark Robinson and Pat Brannigan (snr) who had to be separated on countback each with scores of nett 66.
Killylea man Brian enjoyed a steady front nine with just two bogeys on his card at the third and fifth holes. And that steady round continued through ten and eleven before he bogeyed the 12th, the 14th and proceeded to double bogey 15 and 16. Fortunately he gathered himself and although dropped a further two shots at the 17th and 18th holes, returned a winning score nett 64.
Mark Robinson followed up his Tuesday Cup blitz earlier in the week with an excellent nett 66 score to claim second prize. A triple bogey seven at the 18th undoubtedly his downfall in an otherwise steady round.
And Pat Brannigan likewise will be kicking himself for a triple bogey seven at the last. His nett 66 however, earned him third prize on countback.

Student James lifts Woods trophy
BIG-hitting James Conlon lifted the Woods Trophy in the Open Scratch competition at County Armagh with a superb exhibition of golf and a brilliant Gross 71 winning score.
Birdies at the second and eighth holes compensated for a bogey at the first hole and a double bogey at the fourth holes. And with pars all of the others, the city student was just one over par at the halfway stage. In between a further seven pars James tucked away a birdie four at the twelfth hole and but for one dropped shot at the 17th it should have been a level par back nine.
However, his Gross 71 it was enough to win the coveted prize by a shot from seven-handicapper Stuart Lee who returned an equally impressive Gross 72. In very similar fashion he too was just one over after nine holes and with birdies at the 10th and 12th holes might even have bettered James' score had he not dropped shots at both the par threes on the back nine and a further shot at the relatively easy 15th hole.
Six-handicapper Kieran Donnelly was even more impressively one under after 15 holes before he dropped a shot at the 16th hole and a further two at the 18th to finish with a Gross 73. It deserdly earned him third prize.
And Wayne Telford picked up the Gross 0-5 Handicap prize with a Gross 70, the three-handicapper knocking in no less than six birdies during his level par round.

County Armagh Golf Club Captain Tom Calvert is pictured with Philip Devlin, who collected fourth prize in the Sunday Club Stroke competition.
Thomas lands Club Stroke prize
A one over par front nine laid the foundations for an excellent 63nett victory for Thomas Murray in the Sunday Club Stroke competition.
The 11-handicapper dropped shots at the first, fifth and ninth holes, but birdies at the fourth and eighth saw him just that one shot over at the turn. A double bogey seven at the tenth followed and he dropped another shot at the 13th but recovered some ground with a brilliant birdie three at the 16th. He could even afford to drop a shot at the final hole to leave him three over on the return trek and winning with a nett 63.
Kieran Grimley, enjoying a rich vein of form recently, was just one shot adrift on nett 64 after his round of two over front and two over back nine.
Keith Hamilton's double bogey six at the the 18th ultimately cost him the top prize and indeed the runners up prize, the 13-handicapper returning a nett 64 also and losing out on countback.
Newcomer Philip Devlin opened his winning account at the club with a nett 65 and better back nine securing him fourth prize on the day. And Gary McCourt, playing of a nine handicap, claimed the fifth and final prize with a nett 65 also.

In Category 1, Andrew McTaggart secured first prize with 41 points - a steady round indeed from the 12 handicapper. And Michael Cullen picked up runners up prize with 40 points.
Cathal Cullen's 42 points - 22 front nine and 20 back nine - took the honours in Category 2 on countback from Andrew Dunwoody who also returned 42 points, ultimately giving way to Cathal after a double bogey six at the 17th hole.
