McKane shows class

ON another splendid day at Prehen, with the wind just difficult enough to make things interesting and the greens running as true as a Sky News microphone on a politician, it was the medium to high handicappers who managed to top the board at the end of play in the Dunhugh Cup, on Saturday.

At the head of affairs was Sean McKane (20) with a fabulous 43 point tally.

Gerry Irwin (13) has been thundering the ball down Prehen's fairways for some time now and on Saturday he put in some great chipping and a feel for the greens along with his long hitting to take second place on 41 points.

In third spot, separated only by a lesser back nine, with 41 points came David Curry (17). Aaron Taylor (2) took the Gross prize with a fine 37 points.

It was the low handicap guys who handled conditions best at last Thursday's confined stableford at City of Derry.

At the top of the board by the end of the day was reigning Senior Scratch Cup Champion, Jayson McIntyre (1) with a fine 43 points tally. Clearly Jayson will again be a force to be reckoned with at this year's Senior Scratch Cup on Sunday, June 20.

It took a better back three holes to put the 41 points tally of Robert Simpson (11) in second place.

Ernie Heywood (2) also needed a BOT finish with a better back six to take third spot from George McKnight (13) who finished with the same total of 41 points.
