Saturday saw a Club Stableford sponsored by the One Stop Car Service and Conor O’Kane came away with the victory after scoring an excellent 38 points.

With the course playing longer than usual the scoring was always going to be tough. Big hitter Bryan McCartney also scored 38 points but had to settle for second place courtesy of count back.

Joe O’Kane also had a fine round scoring 37 points to take third place and Ricky Cochrane claimed the gross prize finishing just 2 over for his round.

Golfer of the Year has only a few more weeks left and nobody would have thought it would be so close.

Kieran Berryman at one point was almost 50 points clear of everyone but Andy Young has come storming back with some great results in recent weeks to close the gap which now stands at just 2 points.

Kieran still leads the table with 102 points while Andy is now right behind with 100 points. Liam Berryman is third with 72 points and Derek Powell is fourth with 54 points.

It certainly makes for an exciting finish as both Kieran and Andy will have to record some top finishes to improve their standing.

Up next is an Open Mixed Greensomes sponsored by McAtamneys Butchers and PGA Professional Shaun Devenney will be sponsoring a two day club competition with some great prizes to be won.
