Keyes takes Route 66 to jubilee cup win

​Frank Keyes was a popular winner of the Jubilee Cup as he rolled back the years and took Route 66 to win by one shot Neil O’Mara (23).
Playing off 31 he shot 97 gross for a nett 67 that included excellent pars at the par five seventh, the par three 17th and the par four 18th as he went out in 49 gross and came home in 48 gross.
Those two pars on the final two holes proved vital for Keyes in edging out O’Mara for the top prize as O’Mara finished with two bogeys after a round that included four pars and a birdie four at the sixth as the 23 handicapper went around in 90 gross for a nett 67.
O’Mara took Division 3 by two shots from Gerry Byrne (22) while Ciaran Sheridan (7) took Division 1 on countback from Niall Martin (7) after both had shot 69 gross.
Ciaran Daly (14) won Division 2 with 68 nett which was one better than Declan Muckian (15) while the gross prize went to Caolan Rafferty whose four under par round of 68 featured four successive birdies from the 12th to 15th as well as birdies at the seventh and the 18th where he drove the final green from the tee.
The Jubilee Cup run in conjunction with the 3Ts Charity event and thanks are extended to all the players who entered.
