The recent Mayne Cup turned into a battle between the Calvert brothers Jamie and Kris. Jamie fired an excellent nett 65 but was denied by his brother Kris who signed for a fantastic nett 63.

The Antenna Cup was claimed by Sean Reilly who defied some horrendous weather to finish with 39 points and hold off the fast finishing Stuart Hall by a single point.

Conleith Lavery won the stableford competition on May 4, carding a very credible 39 points. The 19-handicapper pipped Sean Reilly by a point who himself edged out Michael Brundson on count back.

Competitions for the juveniles continue every Saturday.

Andrew sparkes for PGA Tankard win

ELECTRICAL engineer Andrew Dunwoody mastered the the blustery conditiions to clinch an outstanding victory in the County Armagh Golf Club PGA Tankard competition.

The 12-handicapper was six points clear of the rest of the field in the Sunday stableford event. Indeed his winning round amassing 44 points was also the best gross score on the day. With 23 points over the front nine holes he was well on his way and added a further 21 for that winning total.

Gerard O'Callaghan, nursing a handicap cut from the previous day where he won his category, was the nearest anyone got to challenging Dunwoody. But his 38 points was still six shy of the winning score. An excellent back nine yeilding 20 points on top of of 18 secured on the outward trek was enough to take the runners up prize.

The blustery winds and occasional showers throughout the day obviously played havoc with scoring and somewhat less than average results were returned.

Shea Smyth topped the 0-12-handicap category with 37 points and that after failing to score at the 11th hole. Tom Calvert was runner up with 36 points and he too had 'dings' on his card at nine and 12.

Michael Carson nursed 37 points to win the 13-18 handicap category ahead of Convenor Art McCrory on 35 points.

Michael McKenie however, will have been well pleased his 38 points and better back nine secured him first prize in the 19-28 handicap category ahead of Paul Hughes also returing 38 points.

Big Derek's no longer the bridesmaid!

Big Derek McKeever may well have been thinking this golfing season was going to one of 'always the bridesmaid and never the bride'.

But that all changed with a superb round of golf which saw him lift the County Armagh Golf Club's Bumble Bee Cup.

In consecutive competitions the previous weekend, 14-handicapper Derek produced scores which just edged him into runners up spot. But there was no-one to touch him when he returned an impressive nett 64 score in the Bumble Bee Cup competition.

Birdies at the second and seventh holes saw him on his way to one-over for the front nine holes. By the time he had completed 14 he had dropped only one other shot. But then came a nervous finish with shots dropped at the remaining four holes, including a triple bogey at 18.

However, he had done enough to secure victory ahead of 11-handicapper Lee Stewart whose impressive nett 65 earned him the runners up prize. The Killylea man was five over after nine holes but with a superb back nine in which he dropped only one other shot, he was fully deserving of his award.

Shea Brady engineered a first prize in the 0-12 Category. The 7-handicapper with a nett 67 edged Ronan O'Reilly into second place with a nett 68 - a double bogey six at the last hole ultimately proviing decisive.

Gerard O'Callaghan is becoming a regular face among the prize winners and with a nett 66 picked up first prize in the 13-18 handicap category. Andrew Clarke's 68 and better back nine took the runners up prize.

And Gary Baird shot an excellent nett 69 to win the 19-28 handicap category. His better back nine left Brendan Lynch to pick up the runners up prize.

John Maguire was fully deserving of the Best Gross prize with a gross 72.
