Saturday saw Roe Park's main fundraising event of the year take place and a strong field of 96 golfers took part on a cold and fresh morning.

The golf proved to provide a close finish with Joel Adlard taking the honours with 40 points from the Ulster Fourball stalwart Kevin Boyd who took second place one point adrift, Richard Henry was a further point back to take third place with 38 points.

Chris Thompson claimed the gross prize with three points. The front nine prize was claimed by Norman Martin with a fine 22 points. That tally also took the back nine prize, with war veteran George Walker showing there was life in the old dog yet.

Electric paddles must have been applied at the half way marker as he bounced back from a lacklustre 10 points on the front to more than double his tally on the back.
