Pat lifts Lenagh Trophy

PAT Brannigan was the popular winner of the prestigious Gerry Lenagh Trophy with an untouchable 44 points in the club stabelford competition.

The magnificent piece of silverware which has been played for at County Armagh Golf Club since 1971, was once again presented by Mrs Pat Lenagh, wife of the late Gerry who died 42 years ago on the course while playing a round with his local doctor.

The stableford competition, sponsored by John Morgan of Morgan McLernon Transport Distribution, once again attracted one of the largest fields and on one of the finest days for weather an exceptional score was always going to win.

The affable Pat Brannigan, playing off a handicap of 17, produced that winning score with some very steady scoring on his outward trek yeilding 21 points, backed up with an even more impressive back nine score of 23 points.

John Quinn was his nearest challenger with 43 points, equalling Pat's front nine 21 points but coming up one short on his homeward trek with 22 points.

George Gillespie rued his failure to score a the sixth hole as he stomped to 42 points which secured him third prize. And Jonathan Black, a regular among the prizewinners of late, produced 42 points also only to be beaten into fourth place on countback.

Brendan Toner led home a trio on 41 points, his better back nine 23points taking fifth; Michael Curley was sixth and Ciaran McCreesh was seventh.

The Gross prizes were collected by John Maguire with 33 gross points and Paul Doyle, 32 gross points.

Sly Fox wins Half-Century Cup

TOM Fox emerged champion of the over 50's at County Armagh Golf Club winning the Half Century Cup with an excellent 39 stableford points.

Seven points from the last three holes secured the win from Gerard Kelly who also returned 39 points on the day.

With 19 points accumulated on the front nine, 13-handicapper Tom continued that steady scoring for the homeward trek and added a further 20 points to take his tally to 39 points for the round.

Gerard produced a contrasting performance scoring 20 points over the front nine and adding a further 19 on the back, but off his 17-handicap he was thoroughly deserving of his second place.

Francis Curley's 21 points back-nine score was obviously better than the top two finishers, but he managed only to register 17 on the front nine. However, his 38 points score earned him third place.
