Flyer Francis wins Bumble Bee Cup

Francis Curley got his Bumble Cup competition round off to a flyer on Saturday, opening with two birdies on his way to winning the prestigious trophy.

He added a third birdie at the par four sixth hole before finishing the front nine just one over par. And with some consistent scoring continued on the homeward trek where he used up just a further four shots of his 13 handicap, he was always certain of a prize in the Armatile sponsored competition.

His nett 62 deservedly took the top honours at the end of the day, two clear shots ahead of his nearest rival Andrew McTaggart who recorded a nett 64.

Paul Doyle was also back in the prizes with a very steady round and nett 65 finish earning him the Category One first prize. And Aiden O'Kane's 66 brought him runners up prize.

P Comiskey claimed the Category 2 main prize with a nett 67 with Eamon O'Kane runner up with a nett 68 and sharing in the Two's Pot with birdies at the third and 11th par three holes.

JP Hughes returned a similar 68 nett to win Category 3, his better back nine winning ahead of Tim Teahan who also returned a nett 68.

Ulster Fourball team first round match against North West G.C.

The Ulster Fourball team began the defence of their trophy at home to the Donegal club North West. 

All of the players in the return leg on Sunday 1^st May had made the trip to Buncrana to practise, a number of them taking the opportunity of the holiday week to play.   This stood them in good stead as this delightful, tight, tricky links course was very different from our own parkland course. 

The determined home side lead from the front and using their home advantage defeated first pair Kevin Ward and Alan Johnston, winning 4 & 3.  This was countered by County Armagh's experienced pair, Dudley Marjoram and Tim Teahan who had a resounding 6 & 4 victory over a less accomplished North West rear guard.  The intervening pairs, who were a mixture of old and new squad members, battled doggedly to counter their opponents and by holding their matches around all square, denied North West any sizeable wins. 

The matches were called in on the 16^th and 17^th holes when it was impossible for North West to exceed the County Armagh tally of 11 holes.

Ciaran lifts Hirsh Cup

Ciaran Black mastered the continuing blustery conditions to lift the Hirsh Cup on Sunday after returning the best score of the week-end - nett 62.

He was four shots ahead of his nearest rival who on the day was schoolmaster Eamon O'Hagan, a winner earlier in the weekly Tuesday Cup competition.

In Category 2, Brian McGrady's nett 67 was two shots better than Dessie Cassidy on nett 69 and included a birdie finish to bring him back again next week.

No trouble for George!

Despite the blustery conditions, George Gillespie encountered little trouble on his way to winning the April Medal on Saturday with an excellent nett 63.

The par three 9th was really the only hole which caused the affable George any bother - he carded a trible bogey six and that after firing his tee shot to the edge of the green! However, three birdies at the 1st, 12th and 14th holes with eight excellent pars saw him claim the honours at the end of the day.

Neill Monaghan with a nett 63 also was runner up on countback - a double bogey six at the 17th hole cost him dearly, although anything less than his triple bogey six at the third hole might also have guaranteed the recent competition winner a return to the winners enclosure.

In the categories, it was Kenny Edgar who led the way with a nett 67 to win Category 1 - ironically it was double bogeys at the par three 9th and 12th holes which cost him. Master Niall Brady was runner up with a nett 68. He was just two over after nine holes but the wheels came off at the 16th where a triple-bogey seven ruined an otherwise excellent card.

Fred Hanna's better back nine - and nett 69 - secured him the first prize in Category 2 where Colm Shannon also returned a nett 69.

And in Category 3 Stephen McGarvey was the clear winner with a nett 65 with John Grant five shots adrift in the runners up spot with a nett 70.

Neill Cromwell's nett 70 deservedly won the Gross Prize on the day.

Happy Easter for Philip

A par-four finish had Philip Richards celebrating at Easter - it guaranteed him top prize in County Armagh Golf Club's Easter Stableford competition.

Philip returned 44 points to take the honours ahead of Leo King who almost certainly lost out with a 'no-score' at the 10th hole.

In ideal golfing conditions Philip's was a consistent round - 22points over both front and back nines - and even with 'dings' at the 7th and 15th holes he was still to finish ahead of the pack. But it was the par at the last which he will say ultimately clinched the prize for him ahead of Leo who bogeyed the hole.

Basil Walker headed the category prizes claiming first prize among the low handicappers with a superb 40 points, although it was on countback that he pushed Michael Gill - also on 40 points - into second place. Michael no doubt, will not want reminding of his 24 points on the front nine. 

Mark Stevenson marked his return to the course after a year out by winning Category 2 with 40 points, also on countback. Ian Millar came closest and he too had 24 points on the front nine.

Gary Lappin's 41 points earned him first prize in Category 3, and that included a 'ding' at the 17th. Runner up was Stephen Weir with 40 points from a round which included 'no-scores' at the first, eighth and 15th holes.

Conor McGurgan for a second consecutive week, picked up the Gross Prize with 72.

Meanwhile, in Portugal Johnny Palmer, who is 'on tour' with Roy Turner, David Baird and Alan Johnston, returned 45 points - one for the Handicap Convenor to consider perhaps!
