ROY TURNER retained his crown as the County Armagh Golf Club Senior's Champion.

The genial Roy topped the leaderboard on the final day of the play-offs to win by four points and reclaim the Pat Russell Memorial Trophy which he won last year.

One of 30 golfers to qualify for the two-day play-offs in the annual summer Seniors League Competition, Roy led the way after the first day, returning 42 points. His second day performance may have been less impressive, but his 36 points for a total 78 was still the best accumulated score by four points.

Terry Chin was four points adrift Roy after his first play-off, returning 38 points, but he just wasn't able to close the gap on Day 2, and with 36 points and a total 74, had to settle for runner's up.

It was a similar story for third place Dudley Marjoram, 36 points recorded on Day 1 and 37 on Day 2 for a total 73.

The top ten prize winners in the County Armagh Golf Club Seniors League are as follows:

•  Roy Turner (42, 36) 78; 2. Terry Chin (38, 36) 74; 3T. Dudley Marjoram (36, 37) 73; Kenny Gordon (36, 37) 73; Danny McGee (38, 35) 73; GV O'Reilly (37, 36) 73; 7T. Ally Wilson (41, 31) 72; Johnny Palmer (39, 33) 72; 9. Brian McGuigan (40, 31) 71; 10T. Dessie McLaughlin (37, 32) 69; Gerry McCreesh (35, 34) 69

BALLADEER Nicky Currie spiced up the mid-week qualifier at County Armagh winning with a tantalising 44 points.

20 points and 24 respectively front and back nines saw the Victoria Bar owner celebrate victory in the weekly stableford competition by two points.

An impressive showing by 9-handicapper Brian McGuigan for 42 points was surprisingly just about enough to take the runners up prize. A one-over par back nine for 22 points on top 20 points from the front was however, justly rewarded.

Anthony Farrell's back-to-back birdies at the 7 th and 8 th holes helped him to 21 points across the front nine holes, and with a further 20 added after 18 holes he picked up third prize.

Danny Maxwell will have been quietly satisfied with his win in the Seniors competition after returning 40 points – two birdie 2s and a no score included in his round.

And Shea Brady, of his 7-handicap, produced an impressive three over par gross score for 39 points to claim the Gross prize – on countback!

Quiet man Stuart celebrates mid-week victory

THE quiet man who is Stuart Lee picked up first prize in the Tuesday Qualifier at County Armagh after signing for 44 points in the new mid-week stableford competition.

Four-handicapper Stuart sank three birdies on his way to a hugely impressive 23 points over the front nine, and with two more on his homeward trek his massive 44 points was always going to be hard to beat.

Patsy Hegarty got within one point of catching him returning 43 points to collect the runner’s up prize.

Paddy Hicks was 3 points further adrift on 40 but deservedly collected third prize, his better back nine beating Gerry McCreesh and Paul McCreesh into fourth and fifth places respectively after both also signed for 40 points.

Eric Hamilton collected the Seniors Prize with 39 points and the Best Gross Score on the day was produced by James Johnston on 31 points.

Noel wins final Medal event

NOEL Murtagh collected the final Medal of the season at County Armagh after returning a winning nett 63 in the Sunday competition.

Victory also confirmed a place in the Club Championship for the 11-handicapper who clinched the top prize on countback from Gervase Hughes and Ian O’Hea, both of whom also returned nett 63 scores.

Opening with five straight pars and a birdie, it was the par three 7^th hole which saw Noel drop his first shot. However, even with two further bogeys at the 8^th and 9^th holes he was just two over par for his front nine.

An eagle three at the 12^th was to compensate somewhat for four further dropped shots across the back nine. But his nett 63 proved the best on the day.

Nine-handicapper Gervase Hughes was in equally impressive form and pencilled in birdies at the 5^th, 6^th and 8^th holes one his way to a one under par front nine. He dropped just three shots on the homeward trek to complete his nett 63.

Nathan Grimley topped Category 1 with a nett 66, birdies at the 2^nd, 8^th and 14^th holes highlighting an excellent round. Alan Pedlow was just one shot adrift on nett 67 and deservedly took the runners up prize.

Ian O’Hea, playing partner to Nathan on the day, produced the other best score on the day – nett 63 – six shots better than the chasing pack in Category 2. Eamon O’Hagan’s nett 69 earned him the runners up prize.

And in Category 3 David P Grimley returned a nett 65 to win first prize with Hugh McAneaney runner up, two shots adrift on nett 67.

Gross prize winner Neil Cromwell had his sights set on the course record until he double bogeyed the 16^th, very uncharacteristically dunking his second shot into the lake. Up until then the 2-handicaper was three-under par. His gross 70 finish was however, still the best of the day.
