Oisin makes a winning lodgement
OISIN Gill hit a rich vein of form to lift the Bankers Cup and almost doubled his trophy haul the very next day in the May Medal competition.
An untouchable nett 63 score won him the Bankers Cup and a nett 70 saw him win the May Medal mid-handicap category. Michael Hannon was his nearest challenger with a nett 65.
A three over par front nine was an excellent platform for Oisin's winning round. And he dropped just a further five shots - surprisngly two at the usually safe par 14th hole - for a brilliant nett 63 finish. On what many declared a difficult and long-playing course, Michael Hannon's nett 65 was equally impressive.
In the 0-12 handicap category, Kyle Johnston's nett 68 and superb three over par back-nine took the first prize ahead of the best gross scorer on the day - 72 - John Maguire returning a similar nett 68 .
Killylea continues to feature in the prizes with Brian Loney collecting first prize in the 13-18 handicap category with a nett. Pat Brannigan was a further two shots adrift but secured the runners up prize with a nett 71 winning on countback.
Colm Quinn made his first appearance in the prize list with a nett 68 winning the 19-28 handicap category and Past Captain Michael Grant was runner up with a nett 69.

Noel's breezy victory
NOEL Loye showed steely determination battling gale-force winds to win the May Medal competition.
The 12-handicapper produced an unbeatable nett 68 score to claim the second of the club's medal prizes this season, and automatic qualification for the Club Championship in September.
Such were the difficult breezy conditions only two players returned below par scores - Richard Stewart joining Noel in the overall prizes with a nett 69.
Birdie two's at the third and seventh par three holes steadied Noel in the wind for a five over par front nine. And he repeated the five over par score on the homeward trek with a further birdie three at the 14th hole thrown in to complete a winning round of nett 68.
Driving his tee shot at the 18th out of bounds, leading to a triple-bogey seven, undoubtedly cost your PRO the top prize. His nett 69 finish however, secured him runners up.
In the low handicaps category, Paul Smyth again led the field with a nett 70 and a four over par back-nine to take the honours from Neil Linton, also returning a nett 70 and claiming his prize too on countback.
Oisin Gill meanwhile, came within two shots of a week-end double. After winning the Bankers Cup competition the previous day, he produced a nett 70 score to claim first prize in the 13-18 handicap category. The overnight two-shot cut obviously took its toll. Danny McGee was second with a nett 71 from a round which included a birdie two at the 11th hole.
Tom Donnelly's nett 72 secured first prize in the 19-28 handicap category with Rodney Lynas three shots a drift on nett 75 in runners up postion.
Conor McGurgan once again produced the Best Gross score of the day (75).

John joins the prize golfers with PGA Tankard win
JOHN Sheehan will represent County Armagh Golf Club in the PGA Championship this season after winning the local competition.
An excellent 41 stableford points secured John the PGA Tankard, sponsored by Armagh Oil Company Ltd.
Once again it was the difficult back-nine holes which sorted most of the winners from the losers. On countback John's 19 points clinched the win ahead of Neil Monaghan who will have been disappointed by his 17 points return after a sizzling 24 points from the first nine holes. Birdies at the second and fourth holes helped John to 22 points and the additional 19 made it up to a winning score 41 points.
Paul Smyth's steady scoring - for a 40 points return - including a birdie two and birdie four at the 12th hole, secured him first prize in the 0-12 handicap category, one point ahead of Paddy Duffy, once again making an appearance among the prizewinners and collecting from the Twos pot with a birdie at the par three ninth hole.
PJ Quinn topped the 13-18 handicap category with 38 points while Patrick Kelly's 37 points and better back nine secured him the runner up spot.
Tim Teehan's 40 points was the outstanding score in the 19-28 handicap category where Basil Jolly made a return to the prizes with his 38 points securing runners up spot.
And Conor McGurgan's 33 points and better back nine was the Best Gross score of the day.

Bumble Bee Cup - it's a sting for Darren
DARREN Hughes was the golfer with the winning buzz in County Armagh Golf Club's Bumble Bee Cup.
The eight-handicapper produced a superb winning score of nett 65 to claim the Arma-tile Ltd sponsored competition first prize and coveted trophy. A level-par back-nine secured Darren the win ahead of Kevin Boyd who also returned an excellent nett 65.
Just three over par after nine holes, Darren was always a front runner, and while many other challengers struggled over the back nine he delivered expertly. A birdie four at the par five 12th hole was followed by the one single bogey of the return trek at the very next hole. But after that it was a faultless finish.
In the categories, Kyle Wilson, ironically also with a level par back nine, and finishing with a nett 66 secured himself first prize in the 0-12 handicap section ahead of Killylea man Andrew Millar, picking up from where his dad Stephen left off the previous week in the prize list.
Michael McParland's nett 67 and better back nine, including birdies at the 13th and 14th holes, earned him first prize in the 13-18 handicap category ahead of another Killylea man Andy McCrea.
Five double bogeys in the last eight holes undoubtedly cost Jonathan Black the top prize - he finished with a superb nett 65 which deservedly earned him first prize in the 19-28 handicap category, two shots ahead of John Grant in runners up position.
BUMBLE BEE CUP WINNERS: Darren Hughes (third from right) is presented with the Bumble Bee Cup by Marty Kelly, from Armatile Ltd, who kinldly sponsored the recent stableford competition.

Lee - ve it to Stuart
BIG-HITTING Stuart Lee played the recent gale force winds to his best advantage to lift the Hirsh Cup.
In the NetStretch ltd sponsored competition, two finishing pars secured the coveted trophy for the six-handicapper on countback from John Leer, runner up on a similar nett 68.
A mix of birdies and bogeys told the tale of Stuart's front nine with the only par recorded at the seventh 'quarry' hole. He was just two over par at the turn and dropped only a futher two shots on the back nine holes to shoot just four over for his round in what many admitted were some of the most difficult conditions to-date.
Producing the best Gross score of the day, Jerome Leer was also able to master conditions expertly with a two-under par front nine, including birdies at the second, third, fourth and ninth holes. An eagle three at the 12th hole split pars at nine and ten, 13 and 14 before he began recording a string of dropped shots - a sickly seven at the 16th hole ultimately cost him the top prize.
Next best on the day was Paul Doyle whose nett 70 won the 0-12 handicap category, two shots ahead of Paul Smyth on nett 72.
Stephen Miller's Ulster Fourball experience the previous week obviously stood him in good stead as
he produced a nett 70 to win the 13-18 handicap category. On countback he beat Pascal Toner who also returned a nett 70.
Franciie Smyth was the man to beat in the 19-28 handicap category returning a nett 70 to win ahead of Peter Murphy on nett 71.
HIRSH CUP: County Armagh Golf Club Captain Brendan Smyth presents the Hirsh Cup to Stuart Lee. Looking on are competition winners Jerome Leer, Peter Murphy, Stephen Miller and Paul Doyle.
April Medal Price is right for Harold
Harold Price collected the first (April) medal of the season with a one shot, nett 65 winning score.
In the most difficult of windy conditions, the affable Harold returned the best score of the day leaving three players - Mark Loughran, Philip Kelly and Mark Gillen - all trailing in his wake.
A birdie three at the par four second hole was followed by some steady scoring over the front nine for Harold. And with a six over par return trek, which included pars at the 11th and 15th holes, he was always going to be hard to catch.
Mark Loughran put up the best challenge with returning a nett 66 score. The six-handicapper mastered the conditions superbly for a two over par front nine and level par back nine which included a birdie two at the 13th hole.
Martin Gill lifted the 0-12 handicap category first prize with a nett 66, winning on countback from Neil Cromwell, also nett 66, who producied the Best Gross Score of the day.
Philip Kelly and Mark Gillen had also to be separated on countback after both returned scores of nett 66 - Philip just getting the nod in the 13-18 handicap category.
And in the 19-28 handicap section Dr Gary O'Reilly had the perfect prescription for his first prize with a nett 70, winning from Paul O'Hagan, also nett 70, on countback.
