Glorious conditions prevailed at sun soaked County Armagh Golf Club on Thursday last. Seventy ladies competed for the much sought after hampers sponsored by Rice's supermarket Victoria St Keady.
The competition format was 4 ball better ball and the top 4 places had to be decided on count back's. The winners were the combination of Ann McDonald and Eilish Grimes who returned a great score of 44 stableford points. The youthful pairing of Aideen Cannavan and Carina Oliver secured 2 nd place also scoring 44 points.
Second and third places could not be separated even with a count back as both pairings returned identical cards. Joint second place went to Bernie Rice and Caitlin McKinney and Paula McCrory and Myrtle Rhodie. The 9 hole single's competition was collected by O Gannon.
Mrs Phil Rice from Rice's supermarket presented the beautiful prizes in a packed clubhouse. The lady captain Hilary Johnston thanked the sponsor for their continued support of the ladies branch.
Hilary congratulated all the club teams who are making steady progress in the various competitions. At the minute we have 7 teams in contention. They are The Senior Foursomes, The Intermediate, Junior Foursomes, The Meile, The Junior Cup, The Minor Cup and The Challenge Cup. These teams all have important matches in the next few weeks and we wish them all well.
