James lifts Woods trophy
FLAME-HAIRED James Conlon fired the winning scratch score to win the Woods Trophy at County Armagh.
The young golfer, who plays off a handicap of six, shot a superb gross 71 to win the coveted shield which is played for annually by the club's 6-9 handicappers.
One under par after nine holes, with birdies at the 2nd and 9th, James dropped only his second shot at the 11th. But he recovered this with a birdie at very next hole only to drop a further shot at the 13th and another at the 15th before completing his round with three pars for a gross 71.
Marty Oliver, playing off a handicap of eight, was just a shot behind and deservedly picked up the runners up prize with a gross 72.
Birdies at the opening hole and the 7th saw Marty out in level par, his only blemish a double bogey five at the third hole. On the homeward trek he also dropped shots at the  10th and 16th holes but his gross 72 was every bit deserving of the runners up prize.
Meanwhile, in the 0-5 handicap Category, Andrew Millar once again confirmed his brilliant form of late by taking the prize with a gross 67.
