Foyle hosted Faughan Valley on Saturday in the return leg of the Annual Two Bridges Cup and in the eighth year of this very enjoyable event David Logue and his team arrived at Foyle firm favorites to win the event for the first time after their splendid performance at Faughan Valley where they won 9 matches to 1 therefore leaving Kevin Dunn and his team needing a miraculous performance if they were to over haul the deficit, which was not to be with the match finishing five matches each leaving Logue and his fine Faughan Valley team to collect the Cup by 14 matches to 6.

This week the Desmond Motors Winter League continues dail, as does the Turkey competitions and anyone looking to play in the Sunday Society competition should book their own tee-time.
