ERIC Hamilton's margin of victory in the recent Sunday stroke competition at County Armagh could have been much, much more had he not closed his round with a triple bogey.
His nett 65 however, was still the winning score – on countback - with the young Mark Shannon who also returned a nett 65 and ironically also carded a double bogey at the 18 th hole.

JOHN Morgan's birdie finish to a back nine-which yielded a massive 24 points, complimenting 19 points from the first nine holes, proved the unassailable score in County Armagh's Open Stableford competition, sponsored by Alexander Mills.
In fact the winning 43 points could so easily have been more had the young seven-handicapper not ‘dinged' the 8 th hole for a no score.
