County Armagh Golf Club Captain Tom Calvert is pictured with Philip Devlin, who collected fourth prize in the Sunday Club Stroke competition.

Thomas lands Club Stroke prize

A one over par front nine laid the foundations for an excellent 63nett victory for Thomas Murray in the Sunday Club Stroke competition.

The 11-handicapper dropped shots at the first, fifth and ninth holes, but birdies at the fourth and eighth saw him just that one shot over at the turn. A double bogey seven at the tenth followed and he dropped another shot at the 13th but recovered some ground with a brilliant birdie three at the 16th. He could even afford to drop a shot at the final hole to leave him three over on the return trek and winning with a nett 63.

Kieran Grimley, enjoying a rich vein of form recently, was just one shot adrift on nett 64 after his round of two over front and two over back nine.

Keith Hamilton's double bogey six at the the 18th ultimately cost him the top prize and indeed the runners up prize, the 13-handicapper returning a nett 64 also and losing out on countback.

Newcomer Philip Devlin opened his winning account at the club with a nett 65 and better back nine securing him fourth prize on the day. And Gary McCourt, playing of a nine handicap, claimed the fifth and final prize with a nett 65 also.

Neil's late birdie wins Webster Cup

Neil Linton's birdie three at County Armagh's 18th hole ultimately secured him the Webster Cup in the Open Scratch competition.

The Killylea man shared the winning score Gross 74 with John Lavery but claimed the top prize in countback with that birdie three at the last.

Three dropped shots at the first, second and ninth holes were the only blemishes on Neil's card for the outward trek and that steady form continued on the homeward trek which he completed just one over par.

John Lavery was equally impressive, one over after nine but dropped three shots over the back nine to lose out to Neil.

Michael McGurk's Gross 76 secured him thrid prize.

1st James Conlon Gross 71

3rd Kieran Donnelly Gross 73

James Conlon is presented with the Woods trophy by County Armagh Golf Club Captain Tom Calvert after winning the annual scratch competition. Included also is Kieran Donnelly, competition runner up.

Student James lifts Woods trophy

BIG-hitting James Conlon lifted the Woods Trophy in the Open Scratch competition at County Armagh with a superb exhibition of golf and a brilliant Gross 71 winning score.

Birdies at the second and eighth holes compensated for a bogey at the first hole and a double bogey at the fourth holes. And with pars all of the others, the city student was just one over par at the halfway stage. In between a further seven pars James tucked away a birdie four at the twelfth hole and but for one dropped shot at the 17th it should have been a level par back nine.

However, his Gross 71 it was enough to win the coveted prize by a shot from seven-handicapper Stuart Lee who returned an equally impressive Gross 72. In very similar fashion he too was just one over after nine holes and with birdies at the 10th and 12th holes might even have bettered James' score had he not dropped shots at both the par threes on the back nine and a further shot at the relatively easy 15th hole.

Six-handicapper Kieran Donnelly was even more impressively one under after 15 holes before he dropped a shot at the 16th hole and a further two at the 18th to finish with a Gross 73. It deserdly earned him third prize.

And Wayne Telford picked up the Gross 0-5 Handicap prize with a Gross 70, the three-handicapper knocking in no less than six birdies during his level par round.

Noel's late, late show
