Gentleman Gerry's a stableford winner

GENTLEMAN Gerard Kelly's birdie three at the 15th hole proved the deciding factor in the final club stableford of the season at County Armagh.

A countback was required when both he and Tommy Mackin each returned scores of 41 points. But that birdie just ncked the prize for Gerard. And the importance of it will have been thoroughly realised after a 'no-score' at the par five 12th!

There was infact, nothing to separate the two men after nine holes, both recording 21 points on their cards.

Kieran Grimley's 40 points and better back nine earned him first prize in the 0-12 handicap category with Michael Curley, 40 points, losing out on countback.

John Sheehan made a welcome return to the winners enclosure with his 38 points taking first prize in the 13-18 handicap category ahead of Paddy Darragh on 37 points.

Peter Murtagh and Paul Hughes both signed for 39 points but on a back nine countback Peter edged it to take the 19-28 handicap category prize.

Andrew Millar produced the best gross score, 32 points.

Sean's red-faced at six point win

SEAN Dougan was ever so slightly embarrased by his six-point margin of victory in the recent club stableford competition at County Armagh.

The Philip White Tyres Manager was miles ahead of the rest of the field in the penultimate stableford competition of the season after signing for 45 points. Nat McGeown,Andrew Miller and Alan Wilson were his nearest challengers, way back on 39 points each.

13-handicapper Sean got off to a flying start with 16 points chalked up after just five holes - a birdie three at the 5th hole boosting his tally - and he reached the turn with a massive 24 points.  that consistent scoring continued on the homeward trek where a further birdie three at the 14th hole set him on his way to 21 points from the back nine and that uncatachable total of 45 points.

Nat McGeown equalled Sean's back nine tally but was six points behind on the front nine as he carded a total 39 points for the runners up prize.

Club champion Andrew Miller brought home the category winners with 39 points in the 0-12 handicap group with Mark Loughran runner up on 38 points winning on countback.

Alan Wilson's 39 points also earned him first prize in the 13-18 handicap group with Brendan McKinney runner up on 38 points also.

And Rodney Villiers claimed first prize in the 19-28 handicap category with 38 points where Dudley Marjoram's 37 points earned him the second group prize.

Conor McGurgan produced the Best Gross (36pts) score.

The end of year presentation of prizes to the juvenile girls took place on Thursday last in a packed clubhouse. After a delicious meal in the restaurant the girls assembled for the annual prize giving with their parents and friends. The Lady Captain Hilary Johnston gave a very warm welcome to the girls and their families including the girls Captain Grace Carmichael and their very hard working juvenile convenor Mrs Helen McLoughlin.

The Golfer of The Year winner was Ciarrai Devlin who collected a number of other trophies on the night including the Dungarven Trophy and The Brendan Oliver Shield eighteen hole competition. Grace Carmichael won the Apple Blossom Cup. Aoife Lennon also had a very successful year collecting the Johnston Cup, the Armaghdale Cup (senior girls) and the Karen Edgar Prize ahead of Caoimhe Hillen runner up and third placed Anna Jennings. The junior Armaghdale trophy was secured by Ann Jennings. The Nine Hole Brendan Oliver Shield was won by Caoimhe Hillen and The Johnston Cup (nine hole) was picked up by Blathnaid Hagan. Maeve Mallon was the top golfer in the Millennium Shield and the most improved golfer over the year was Emily Cheevers. The Convenor's prizes were won by Rebecca Cheevers (eighteen hole) and Blaithin McReynolds collected the nine hole prize. Caoimhe Hillen's team won the Steenson Team Matchplay trophy and the top beginner was Rachel Starrs Steenson.

The high standard of golf these girls have achieved over the last year bodes well for the future of the ladies branch. The Lady Captain thanked Helen and all her helpers for their dedication to the juvenile girls over the past year.

The evening ended with the final presentation of the year for the eighteen and nine hole stableford competitions. The winner of the eighteen hole competition was Ann Attwell with 41 points and Brigid McEnaney was second with 39 points. Gretta Forster won the nine hole with 18 points.

The winter league has commenced and is played over nine holes with the best card of two counting each week.

Brian's on fire for stableford win

WORLD Fire and Police Games competitor Brian McGuigan extinguished the rest of the field by producing the winning score in County Armagh's recent Sunday stableford.

His 42 stableford points saw him take top spot on the podium ahead of Paul Doyle who finished just a point behind on 41. A back-nine which included two birdies and yeilded 22 points topped a steady front nine and 20 points for victory.

Teenager Stewart Hall led home the Category winners, his 40 points winning the 0-12 handcap ahead of Gervase Hughes on 39 points.

Danny Maxwell was the outright winner of the 13-18 handicap section with 40 points also, with Eamon McVeigh two shots adrift on 38 points, taking runner up after a back nine countback.

Kieran McAuley won the 19--28 handicap category with 38 points, but had Henry Lyttle not failed to score at the 17th and not double-bogeyed the last, it could have been a very different story. Henry however, will be happy just to have collected a prize.

Stroke victory not without pain for Liam

LIAM Ross will next year play of a handicap considerably less than that which he completed this year after winning County Armagh's final white marker stroke competition of the season.

The affable Liam signed for a nett 62 for his two shot win ahead of Harold Price who returned to his winning ways with a nett 64.

Kieran Mullan picked up third prize with a nett 65 ahead of the final three who all returned nett 67 scores. Jerome Leer's better back nine saw him home in front of Conor McGurgan whose better back nine proved that little bit better than that of Davy Spratt who picked up the sixth and final prize.

Record breaker Andrew is club champion

ANDREW Millar's Club Championship winning score has County Armagh officials delving through the history books in the hope of confirming the Killylea man's nett 130 is a club record for the two-day competition.

Superb back-to-back nett 65 scores earned the young painter and decorator the coveted title in the championship which this year took on a new format. It was a winning score by an amazing five shots from runner up Jarleth McReynolds who many had tipped to win it.

Points accumulated from the club's six monthly medals plus a selection of the top stroke competitions throughout the season, determined the top 20 players who would contest the club championship this year.

Millar qualified with considerable ease and after match-day one of the championship he shared top spot on the leaderboard with McReynolds, both returning nett 65 scores.

He continued that superb form on matchday two getting his round off to a magnificent start with three birdies from the first four holes. He dropped shots at the 7th and 8th holes but a further birdie at the 9th hole saw him two under at the turn.

Four pars followed and stood him in good stead for the difficult fiinish, and although he dropped three shots over the next three holes, a birdie and par finish secured him that second successive nett 65 score.

Jarleth McReynolds, playing of a handicap of one, knew only too well the task which faced him after day one, and he battled bravely a week later for a one over par front nine and level par back nine for his nett 70 and 135 total.

Third placed Jimmy Wilson was well within reach of Millar after day one also when he signed for a nett 68, and he repeated the dose on day two for his 136 total which earned him third prize.

John Maguire finished a shot ahead of Wilson on day one with a nett 67 but could manage only a nett 70 in his follow-up round for his 137 total taking fourth prize.

And Stewart Hall, the youngster in the pack, shot 68 and 70 for an equally impressive 138 total which claimed the penultimate prize ahead of John Lavery who signed for a 69 and 70, 139 total.
