St Patricks Day Competitions

Fergal McKenna blasted his way to victory in the Singles Stableford competition held on Bank Holiday Monday.
Playing off 15 he had 10 three-point pars and one four point birdie on his way to scoring 44pts which gave him a comfortable three point cushion over Mark Cumiskey (10). McKenna shot 21 points on the front nine thanks to pars at second, fifth, seventh and ninth and then had a 23pt haul down the back nine. This included a birdie at the 10th, back to back pars at 11 and 12 and a run of four successive pars over the last four holes. Cumiskey’s 41pts was enough to take Division 1 with Peter McGinnity (18) shooting 37pts to win Division 2 and Patrick Clarke (21) taking Division 3 with 39pts.
The overall winner of the Open Singles Stableford Competition on Wednesday, 20 March, sponsored by McKenna Man, was Shane Smith (27) with 43 points. Runner up with 42 points was Paul Hanratty (29). Two competitions were held on St. Patrick’s Day, 17 March.
