Having eliminated Knock and Holywood in their previous two encounters in this year's competition, County Armagh Golf Club's All-Ireland Four-Ball Trophy side could have been accused of reserving their heaviest punishments for Belfast opposition. However, after now conquering North West Golf Club of Donegal to book a quarter-final berth, it's clear that their ruthlessness is much more universal.
Tim Teahan's men hosted the first leg on Sunday 17 June, when they bagged four of the five available points through the winning combinations of Oliver Connell/Philip Dowey, Paul Kelly/Gavin Mc Elmeel, Paul Rice/Stephen Nugent, and Ian Ritchie/Stephen Miller.
County Armagh Golf Club qualified for the quarter-finals of the All-Ireland Four-Ball trophy by overcoming North West of Donegal.

County Armagh have qualified for the quarter-final of the Sam Rutherford Memorial Trophy after dispensing with the second round challenge of Omagh.
In this tournament, teams of four pairs play greensomes, with all matches completing 18 holes and the results based on holes up. Ties are contested over two legs, and Patrick Brannigan's side made good use of home advantage in the opening encounter in the Cathedral City on Sunday 24 June, when Jonathan McKnught/Derick Hynes, Michael Cullen/John Vernon and Kenny Edgar/Caolan McReynolds all recorded comfortable victories to leave County Armagh 18 holes to the good at the halfway juncture.
Pictured in Omagh ahead of their second round second leg are County Armagh's Sam Rutherford team, who will now do battle with Downpatrick for a semi-final spot.

It was on the hoisting of the official County Armagh Golf Club flag, which fluttered resplendently in the searing Cathedral City sunshine, that Colm Shannon's Captain's Day Weekend 2018 got under way in earnest.
With the lady members and juvenile girls and boys already having competed in their various categories earlier in the week, the club's male hopefuls filled the demesne's fairways on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 June with the aim of grabbing glory in the showpiece item on the club's fixture list.
This year's event was lent extra gravitas by the fact that the club is currently celebrating its 125th anniversary, and few can remember the County Armagh Golf Club Captain's Prize ever being competed for in such blistering temperatures or on a course that, although presented in absolutely immaculate condition, was so dry and bouncy after many rainless weeks that it offered an almost links-style challenge to the contenders.
There was no discernible difference in playing conditions between the two days, however, so the entire field was faced with the same stern but fair golfing examination – to the best performer the spoils.
Away from the sporting action, family, friends and members joined Colm for a Saturday coffee morning that provided the perfect opportunity for all those in attendance to catch up with old friends, admire the fantastic selection of prizes on offer, and wish our utterly dedicated, hard-working and forward-thinking Captain all the very best. The pristine clubhouse and environs and the refreshments enjoyed by everyone present also served as testimony to the club staff and volunteers who work so diligently to ensure that such events run smoothly.
Meanwhile, we were down to serious business back out on the golf course, where a magnificent nett 66 ultimately made Jim McMullan a most worthy Captain's Day Champion 2018.
Winner of the County Armagh Golf Club Captain's Prize 2018, Jim McMullan, is awarded with the Captain's Cup by Club Captain, Colm Shannon, and his wife, Mary.
Jim's 79-stroke outing clipped his handicap from 13 to 12 but, much more importantly, landed him the most prestigious honour on offer in the County Armagh Golf Club calendar. And the impressiveness of the local GP's display was especially apparent when one considered how few players managed to beat their handicap on what were a subtly difficult couple of days for golf.

As the wall-to-wall sunshine continues to bathe County Armagh Golf Club's fairways and provide glorious golfing conditions for the playing hopefuls, it glimmered brightest for Tommy Mackin on 24 June when he landed tournament victory.
The Sunday Stroke event was sponsored by Hugh McElvanna Drapery and Footwear and witnessed Tommy deliver a fantastic display in which, crucially, he managed to keep anything worse than a bogey off his scorecard.
Three pars on each nine allied with a bonus birdie boost at the 3rd ultimately led to a wonderful gross 80 and accruing nett 65 that earned Mackin a new handicap of 13 and kept him ahead of the chasing pack.
Prizewinners in the recent Open Stroke event at County Armagh Golf Club (L-R) Dermot O'Neill, Calum Connell, Joe Rhodie, Robert Patterson and Tommy Mackin are pictured alongside Hugh McElvanna of McElvanna Drapery and Footwear, competition sponsors, and Club Captain, Colm Shannon.
The best of that group was Robert Patterson, who was just one shot off Tommy's pace. Robert bagged the overall runner-up award courtesy of a high-quality nett 66 that incorporated seven pars and an admirable riposte to the frustration of two double bogeys in the opening three holes.
