Eamon collects first club Medal

EAMON McVeigh will be wishing it had all come together just a day earlier than the Sunday he produced his best round of the year to win the County Armagh Golf Club July Medal.

His winning 64 nett score was produced just 24 hours after Captain's Day!

But Eamon was still delighted to have picked up his first ever Medal at the club, presented by Vice Captain Pat McAleavey in front of a packed clubhouse on Sunday evening.

The par three holes 3 and 9, plus the equally less difficult sixth hole, were those on which 15-handicapper Eamon dropped shots on his outward trek. But he managed to maintain the consistency and dropped only a further six shots over the back nine holes for a nett 64 finish.

By a single shot, it was enough to take the honours ahead of Danny McGee. The 13-handicapper, after a six-over par front nine, was just 2-over par on the back nine for his nett 65 finish.

And it was his better back nine which ultimately decided the Category 2 prizes, Pat McKenna with a nett 65 winning, and the previous day's winner of the Captain's Prize, Barry Scully, was runner up with a nett 66.

Andrew Millar was the deserving winner of the Category 1 prize with a nett 66. The seven handicapper one under par after nine, dropped just four shots on the return trek - three of them at the final three holes! Adam Hunniford was runner up with a nett 67.

Eamon Toner won Category 3 with an excellent nett 70, with runner up Mervyn Watts kicking off what was to prove a winning week ahead, runner up with a nett 71.

A gross 73 won Stewart Stevenson the Gross Prize on countback.

Barry checks out Captain's prize

The very notion of winning Captain's Day at County Armagh Golf Club was one which 25-year-old Barry Scully hadn't really considered, or rather hadn't time to consider.

Indeed before 10pm the previous night the young Keady supermarket employee didn't even have a tee-time to play in the competition!

"I wasn't for playing at at all until I got a text on Friday night from Ian O'Hea to say he had a space in his four-ball along with my boss Conlon Rice and Damien Murray," explained Barry. "I text him back to say I would take it but Ian didn't reply. He'd drafted the text but forgot to send it. Anyway, eventually I got confirmation I was to play at 8.52am. If I wanted to play this was going to be my only chance."
