Safely on board his boat to Owey is our competition secretary Eugene Mc Garvey with a super 38 Pts on what was a tough day on the links. Second and the only other person on the course to make 36 Pts was Martin Doherty with gross going to Chris Mc Gonagle on a break of tie. Third place went to a visitor and an impressive 35 Pts from Charlie Rodgers while the 9’s went to Joseph Gillespie and Vincent Bonner. Well done to all the prize winners and thanks to our sponsors at the MFV Neptune.

A day of two halves in Cruit today, very blustery in the morning but more settled in the afternoon and boy did some of our later starters take advantage of the better conditions with two super scores coming in late in the day. John Bonner, having gone out of the Single Matchplay on Thursday evening, bounced back with a fantastic level par round to win by two strokes. John was 1 over turning but put together a 1 under back 9 which included 2 birdies in the final 3 holes to post his winning score. Second was a man in great form this year, Gerard Mc Elwee who himself was only 2 over for a brilliant 63 nett. Donal Boyle took the gross with a round of 1 over while third and fourth were settled on a break of tie with 2 65’s, Eugene Sharkey getting third and Robert Wehrley fourth. The 9’s went to Ciaran Mc Ginley with a nett 31 and Ray Gallagher with a level par back 9 for a nett 30. Well done to all our prize winners and thanks to Maeve and her family for the beautiful food after the golf (the tomato soup was superb). Next Sunday’s competition is sponsored by M.F.V Neptune and on Saturday the ladies compete for Maeve’s Lady Captain’s Prize.
In the Single Matchplay three of the four quarter finals are played with the fourth taking place this evening (Monday). The first semi final will be between Eamon Kelly and John Hyland, with Eamon beating Neily Doherty 3&2 while John beat Owenie Gallagher on the 18th. In the bottom half Declan Gillespie beat John Bonner 2&1 and now awaits the winner of today’s match between Ben Boyle and Ben Rodgers.
