Joy as Paul captures the Suffolk Cup at Dunmurry

On a day of high scoring, fifteen handicapper, Paul was top of the pile with a superb 43 points, but he was pushed all the way by a number of excellent scores.

Paul was solid throughout his round, mixing five bogeys with three pars and a birdie over the front nine, giving him 22 points.

That form continued over the back nine, six pars, two bogeys and a double bogey, which helped him to 21 points for a winning 43 point total courtesy of count back.

Vinod Tandon (15) narrowly missed out on top spot, settling for second, after he too amassed 43 points.

Peter Quinn (14) came in with a score of 42 points to take third place, once again count back having to decide the minor places.

Joe McCallion (11) grabbed fourth, also on 42 points, with a fine round which included eleven pars and six bogeys, with a sole birdie arriving at the difficult fifteenth.

Noel Quinn (16) finished out the prizes, once again on 42 points. Two even halves of 21 points helped him to his score, the highlight being a birdie at thirteen.

Ward Orr (6) outshone all the scratch golfers to take the best gross with an excellent level par 70.

A special mention must go to Frank Cassidy who scored a Hole in One at the sixteenth during the competition.
After an excellent run, Dunmurry’s Holt Shield team finally bowed out at the quarter-final stage, losing to neighbours Lisburn. Despite a rallying performance at home, Lisburn secured the point they required to advance.
