Roy hits the shot of the day at Lisburn Golf Club

It happened at the sixth hole where Roy’s tee shot at the par three hit the concrete boundary of the lake, bounced high in the air and finished six feet from the flag. Roy and his playing partner Kenny Gilmore were playing a crunch match against Norman McNellis and Chris Scott.

Both pairs were undefeated but when Roy holed his putt for a net ‘one’ he put his team two ahead. They went on to win on the seventh green and claim the outright lead in Group 8.

Terry Smith & Ricky Neill and Graham Kerr & Brian Sparkes still remain unbeaten in Group 1.

M. Blakely & Richard Leathem and Mervyn Law & Mervyn Hewitt have both scored 14 out of a possible 16 points to lead Group 2.

Group 3 is very open with Martin McDonald and Michael Rooney leading on 10 points.

In Group 4 Neil Thompson & Norman Lambe maintained their 100% record. They lead Jim Cunningham and Jim McBratney by two points as they could only manage a half.

Despite losing to Lewis Darragh & Michael Leathem, Tommy Beattie & Andrew Gibb lead Group 5 with 12 points.

There are joint leaders in Group 6. Peter Cairns & David Megrath and Ray Rankin & Norman Allen have both reached 14 points.

Wesley Haslett & Paul Watters have 14 points to lead their nearest rivals by two points in Group 7.
