Members also have the Autumn Pairs League to keep them busy as they try to record their best score from the weeks’ competitions. With the course playing slightly shorter than usual big scores were there for the taking.

Big hitter Ryan Magee certainly took advantage as he blazed his way to a superb score of 45 points which won Sunday’s Club Stableford.

It was a very tidy card indeed with 12 pars and six bogeys. Eugene McManus also played well, scoring 43 points to finish second, and Noel McClarey took third place scoring 40 points.

Thursday’s Club Stableford was won by Roe Park’s very own Coach House Chef Eamon Butcher who played out of his skin to record a superb 45 points.

It was a very mixed round which included 3 birdies, 6 pars and even a few dings for good measure.

In second place with 39 points was Martin Butcher with Robert Godfrey in third place with 38 points.

Kieran Doherty kept the run of 45 point victories going as he won Saturdays’ Club Stableford. It was another very tidy round indeed which included 13 pars and one birdie.

Alan Rankin also had an excellent round scoring 42 points to take second place beating Glenn Nicholl into third on count back.

Thanks to Ryan Magee’s score of 45 points both he and partner Jim Reid currently occupy top spot of the Autumn Pairs League Table.

The pairing of Alan Dallas and Eamon Barkley share second place with John Harron and Willie McCormick on 40 points. Frank Boyd and Andy Dunn sit third with 39 points.
