Ulster Fourball first round

MONDAY saw the close of the first round of the Ulster Fourball Trophy and all of our local clubs were participating, with mixed results.

As reported last week, Rathmore Golf Club relied on ‘holes up’ to progress at the expense of Mayobridge and will now face Bushfoot Golf Club, who were awarded a walkover in their tie with Redcastle, in a County Antrim derby.

Gracehill Golf Club also benefits from a walkover by Larne Golf Club for the privilege of playing Kilrea Golf Club or Fortwilliam in the next round.
