On Thursday last 55 ladies took to the fairways of County Armagh golf course to compete for the Cross Refrigeration sponsored stroke competition. Just two strokes separated the top three ladies in a very keenly fought contest.
Best of the bunch was Colette McAleavey with a net score of 66 strokes which clinched the top prize. Colette who is a frequent visitor to the winner’s enclosure this year has her handicap reduced by 2 shots as a result of this great round. The runner up Denise Murphy shot a 68 net as did Lorraine Megaw who was beaten into third place on the count- back. The category winners were as follows: Cat A: Siobhan Donnelly 69, Cat B: Moya Brady 72. Cat C: Brigid McEnaney73, Cat D: Eilish Grimes 76. The best front nine was collected by Maura McCoy with 32 shots and Bernie Rice was best on the way in with 34.5. The top par lady was Ann McDonald.
A large gathering of ladies attended the prize giving and the lady captain Hilary Johnston thanked Cross Refrigeration for their very generous sponsorship and support of the ladies branch.
She went on to congratulate all the teams who made it to the Ulster finals recently and wished the Meile team all the best in Concra Wood on Monday next.
