107 Ladies played for the prestigious Armaghdale Cup very generously sponsored by Gerard Davidson Business Accounts Services, Abbey Street, Armagh, who are in their 6th year of sponsorship.

The winner was local lass Catherine Corrigan with a great score of 69 nett. Conditions were dry but difficult with a very strong wind blowing.

Third and fourth places were separated on the countback with F Quinn and S Donnelly respectively picking up the prizes. C McAleavey was 5th with a 72.
The Category winners were as follows. A : B Rice, B : M Black C : A McElroy : D : M Watts.
The front 9 was won by A Cannavan, while T Corrigan won the back 9. The winning visitor was O Fox playing out of Portnoo. Nearest the pin was K Loye on the 7th, and L Mc Mullan was closest on the 11th hole. The long drive champion was big hitting N Spence with a mighty drive on the 17th past the fairy tree.
A packed clubhouse saw Frances Davidson present the beautiful prizes to the various winners.
