The Fox Cup and Culmore Shield were played for at a showery County Armagh Golf Club on Thursday last. This competition is very generously sponsored by Karine & Co Mall Shopping Centre Armagh.
The best score on the day was returned by Lynne Brown who had a fantastic score of 63 net and collected the Culmore Shield. Lynne was 8 shots clear of her nearest challenger Vera Ellingham with 71 and Dorothy Harris collected 3 rd place with a 72. The front 9 prize went to Eilish Grimes with 31 and the back 9 prize was picked up by Grace Magown with 37 net.
Meanwhile the Fox Cup competition was a much tighter affair with only 2 shots separating the top three. Eileen Fitzsimons and Siobhan Donnelly returned 67 net and after a count back Eileen collected the Fox Cup. They were closely followed by Carina Oliver with a 69. The front nine was won with 33 shots by Gail Steed and Moya Brady's 35.5 shots was the best back nine score. There were a few handicap cuts, Eileen and Siobhan each lost a shot but the most significant cut belonged to Lynne with a whopping cut of 3 shots.
The lady captain presented the prizes to the various winners and she thanked the sponsors for their continued support of the ladies branch.
