Competitions Round-up

MEN'S SECTION
Barry Grennan won the 14 Hole Singles Stableford played over the first weekend of November with a super score of 34pts.
Playing off 10, Grennan got off to a fast start with two three point pars from the first tqwo holes but he wobbled slightly with three consecutive one point returns from the fourth hole.
However, a birdie four for four points at the par five seventh followed by three point par at the eighth got him back on track as he completed the first nine in 20pts and then pressed the accelerator down hard on the final five holes which yielded 14pts..
He birdied the par five 10th for another four points and then had back to back three-ppint pars at the next two holes before finishing with two-points pars over the last two holes.
That left him on 34pts which was enough to give him overall victory by two points from Michael Coburn (8) who shot 32pts and took the Division 1 honours. Shane Thornton (11) and Patrick Arrowsmith (16) took the other divisions while Captain Eoin Doohan recorded the best gross score with 26pts.
