Senior Cup Maxwell froths to the top in Senior Cup! The fire and brimstone of youth may be a little cooled by age for those playing for Prehen’s Senior Cup but the fire and desire to win is still pretty much alive. A rocket propelled start gave Eamon Maxwell(18) the perfect start to this competition and he closed the front nine with a fantastic 23 point total. Eamon’s metal was tested over the back nine when he blanked the short twelfth but he clung on for 20 point over the closing holes and a 43 point tally that was good enough for victory. A less than historic front nine saw Ken McClintiock(19) on the back foot as he turned with just 18 points to his name but a storming finish, including a two at the notoriously difficult 15th hole saw him come back home with 22points for a 40 point total and second place. Gerry Gormley(18) will regret the ugly double bogey on the last hole that ensured his credible 39 point was relegated to third spot. Lifting the gross prize on the day with 32 points was City of Derry’s staunchest supporter Terry Coyle who also gets rewarded with a handicap reduction to five.
Junior Cup McKeone Grabs Junior Cup A fine 41 points saw 5 handicapper Cormac McKeone fight his way to first place in the Junior Cup on Saturday at Prehen. A storming 22point back nine was enough to just edge out the chasing pack. Michael Feeney(9) will regret the middle few holes of his front nine which eventually left him too much over the closing holes to catch Cormac despite a 23 point total on the back nine holes. Kevin Quigg(4) again powered j=his way around Prehen but his steady play lacked the block-busting finish of the other two and his 39 points was relegated to third spot by virtue of an inferior back nine. Two handicapper Lester Moore kept up his consistent spell and lifted yet another Gross Prize. Results supplied by Martin Doherty Competition Convenor. |
