Enda Kennedy (+3) from Strabane and a former assistant to Michael Doherty at the club was the pre tournament favourite to take home the Donnelly and Taggart (Peugeot) sponsored City of Derry Scratch Cup at Prehen on Sunday and he duly obliged with two excellent rounds of 73 and 71 and a winning 144 total. Jim Carville (+2) from Warrenpoint led by one shot going in to the second round but eventually finished runner up with 72 and 73 on a total of 145. Third place went to North West member Gareth Mallon (scr) with rounds of 74 and 72. Speaking after the prize giving Enda Kennedy warmly welcomed the return of the Prehen Scratch Cup to the local fixture list saying how important it was that low handicap golfers were given the opportunity to raise their game. He also paid particular credit to the club’s green keeping staff for their hard work in preparing the course so superbly for the competition and he looked forward to defending his title next year. Other placings in the competition were 1st nett, Kealan Quigg 145, 2, Adrian Leckey 147, Padraig McLaughlin (North West) 148 bot, 1st 18 gross Martin McDermott (Strabane) 75, 2nd 18 gross Johnny Harding 73.
