The outright winner was four handicapper, Stevie McCollum who went round in level par 70 for a nett 66. Stevie recorded a birdie four at the par five 5th, and although he dropped shots at the 6th and 8th, pars at the other six holes saw him round in one over par 36 for the front nine.

On the back nine, Stevie was in superb form with pars at eight of the nine holes and a birdie four at the par five 13th to leave him at level par 70 for the eighteen holes and a nett 66 and outright victory.

Twenty handicapper, Mel Campbell picked up second place thanks to a superb back nine. Mel went round the front nine in 47 shots and looked a long way off the pace, however a five over 40 the back nine and a nett score of 67 gave him victory.

Third and fourth place went to D. Kennedy (27) and Ian Partridge (6) respectively, who both returned nett 67, while Joe Connor (12) nett 68 picked up fifth spot thanks to an excellent back nine of 38.

The gross prize went to Darren Crowe who went round in two under par 68. After a level par front nine of 35 which included a birdie three at the 5th, however birdies at the 11th and 17th saw him round the back nine in two under 33.

Semi-Open Wednesday, 20th August – 1, Noel Magill 39 pts; 2, Billy Gaw 39 pts; 3, K. Griffin 38 pts. Gross – Glenn McAuley 70.

Team news: It was more of the same for Dunmurry on the team front as the Barton Shield foursomes suffered defeat at the Ulster semi-final stage at Moyola Park Golf Club last Sunday.

Dunmurry went out to Warrenpoint by six holes in a disappointing end to the hopes of a trophy this season. The pair of Darren Crowe and Ian Moore were always behind after a disappointing front nine, from which they never recovered while Steven Crowe and Glenn McAuley battled well and were only one hole behind when they were call-in. Warrenpoint went on to beat Shandon Park in the final.
