He'd been knocking on it for weeks as he collected a series of category prizes and, finally, the door to overall competition success was opened to Gary McAleavey in County Armagh Golf Club's May Medal.

In the strokeplay event held on Saturday 20 May, Gary carded an unbeatable nett 63 to seal victory by two clear shots from the rest of the 167-strong field.

Seven fine pars and the bonus of a brilliant birdie up on Rokeby Green provided the backbone of McAleavey's May masterclass, which has resulted in a well-earned handicap reduction from 21 to 19.

May Medal winner Gary McAleavey is presented with his prize by Eileen Stewart, manager at Armagh Business Centre, who sponsored the competition, and daughter Nicola Stewart. Also pictured are category winner Michael Grant and Club Captain Richard Stewart.

Only three weeks previously, a back-nine collapse meant that John Vernon had to settle for only a category 1 runner-up prize when overall competition glory had looked to be firmly within his grasp.

Mightily impressive then was Vernon's latest super Sunday when, refusing to be denied top honours once again, the eight-handicapper posted a tremendous 40-point total to triumph in the Club Stableford on 14 May.

A fantastic final flourish in which John birdied the 15th and 17th and was one under par for the last five holes was the very antithesis of the Harps man's late demise on 23 April and testament to a golfer of true character.

With his 60th birthday party on the immediate horizon, Francis Curley had extra cause for celebration after winning the PGA Tankard at County Armagh Golf Club on Saturday 13 May.

In the stableford competition sponsored by Armagh Potato Co Ltd, Francis got his chips and wedges just right as he returned a golden 42 points to leave the other 184 competitors trailing in his wake.

Having only just returned from a holiday to Sawgrass, Florida, the 12-handicapper started rather listlessly here and found himself an underwhelming six over par after six holes. However, Curley finally awoke from his jet-lagged slumber with a two at the Quarry, and thereafter the local solicitor gave a performance that wouldn’t have disgraced The Players Championship itself.

County Armagh Golf Club Captain Richard Stewart congratulates Francis Curley, winner of the PGA Tankard competition sponsored by Armagh Potato Co Ltd. Also pictured (L-R) are prizewinners Francis Smyth, Shea Smyth, Pearse McBride and Cormac O'Hare.

Tim Teahan's All-Ireland Four-Ball Trophy squad have extended their interest in the competition with an impressive 5·5-4·5 victory over Mannan Castle.

The team's first round defeat of Ballyliffin last time out was built largely on a fruitful home performance, and it was a similar story again as County Armagh secured a commanding 4-1 lead on local soil on Sunday 7 May.

Amid sweltering heat, the outstanding result in that first leg came in the final match, where Brendan Lynch and Gerry Doyle were four holes down before staging a remarkable recovery that eventually saw them win the contest through Brendan's fine par at the 18th. As sparks to ignite such comebacks go, Gerry's sensational hole-in-one at the 11th takes some beating and perhaps sowed the first seeds of doubt in the minds of their opponents.
