Superb, Frankly
Frank Goodwin was glad of a better back nine following his round in the Beacon House charity event on Saturday week, the Dalriada Park man needing that to secure the top prize after his 42 points score was matched by Roy Holmes on a day when 22 twos were recorded.
This event managed to raise £760 for Beacon House, the representative from which - Ann Davidson - presented the sponsored prizes to the winners.

Roisin, worthy winner
The Ladies had a very enjoyable weekend at Slieve Russell Hotel and Country Club, 25 ladies attending. The weather was good, the craic mighty, the golf also something else.
Winner of the Elizabeth Alexander Trophy was Roisin Kelly with 35 points, her success coming courtesy of a better back nine from Deirdre O’Rourke - and in third place was Karen Hetherington with 33 points.
Lorraine magnificent
The ladies were out in force last Tuesday for the annual Darren Clarke MS Qualifier, which was sponsored by Cavanagh Kelly & Co and, if there’s a more deserving winner of a tournament in the club this year, then it will be a surprise because the victor with an amazing score of 45 points was Lorraine Wilson. Second with a very commendable 39 points on a better back nine, ahead of Janet Forbes, was Celia Devlin.
