SUNDAY JANUARY 22 - Last year there were 34 different winners of the Sunday Sweep. Could that number be beaten this season? It looks very probable because, after four weeks, Colm McGreevey has become the fourth different winner.

1st, Colm McGreevey (22) Nett 29; 2nd, Dominic McArdle (19) Nett 29.5; 3rd, Malcolm Hanna (13) Nett 30.5.

THURSDAY JANUARY 26 - Declan Barry is an excellent golfer, we all know that. So it comes as no surprise that he was able to play the nine holes of this particular sweep in one under par gross and take the first and only prize.

1st, Declan Barry (9) 25 points.
