FRIDAY AFTERNOONS COMPETITION WAS FOR BILLY HUGHES MAGNIFICENT PRESIDENT PRIZE. EVERY ONE THOUGHTS WERE ABOUT THE MELT DOWN OF THE BIG EASY AT OUR LAST OUTING AT MOYOLA WOULD HE RECOVER OR SLIP FURTHUR INTO THE MIRE. THE WINNER EMERGED FROM ONE OF OUR LONG SERVING MEMBERS GERARD HENDERSON HE STROLLED AROUND THE COURSE WITH A HANDICAP OT 10 TO BRING HOME A MAGNIFICENT 39 PTS. IN SECOND PLACE WAS EUGENE McATAMNEY WHO HAD HIT A RICH VEIN OF FORM THE PRIEVIOUS SUNDAY AT LISBURN SCORING 38 PTS ON HIS FIRST ATTEMPT AT THIS TOUGH COURSE, BROUGHT HOME A RESPECTABLE 31 PTS.9 the mutterings in the background were with this form could he win player of the weekend) ALL FEARS FOR THE BIG EASY DISAPPEARED AS IAN RETURNED 29 PTS TO SECURE THIRD PLACE. FRANCIE TALLON WON THE F9 WITH 17PTS (HE ALSO WON FIRST PRIZE AT CAPTAINS DAY EARLIER IN THE YEAR) THE B9 WAS WON BY MICHEAL LAVERY 14PTS.

SATURDAY MORNING STARTED SLOW WITH SOME MEMBERS IN A FRAGILE STATE THE THREE CONTENDORS FOR PLAYER OF THE WEEKEND WERE, GERARD (could laughing boy hold his nerve) IAN (the big easy had he taken enough bison on board on friday night to steady his nerves) EUGENE (cut 2 shots had an early night on friday, was up at dawn ran 5 miles , 40 lengths of the pool a full massage, a big ulster fry,and a visit to his golf guri was taking player of the weekend seriously.
THE F9 WAS WON BY MICKEY McMAHON 19 PTS , B9 WAS WON BY BERNARD McQUILLAN 16PTS BUT ONLY SCORED 4PTS ON THE F9 (thats right 4 pts) IN THIRD PLACE WAS MARTIN McNIECE WITH 30PTS 4 DINGS HE CARDED RUINED HIS CHANCES OF A HIGHER PLACE.

THE 3 DINGS ON HIS CARD DID'NT HELP HIS PUSH FOR PLAYER OF THE WEEKEND. GERARD HAD CRASHED AND BURNED LEAVING ONLY EUGENE TO OUST THE BIG EASY.
IN FIRST PLACE WAS EUGENE WITH AN EVEN BETTER SCORE THAN FRIDAY OF 37PTS TO WIN FIRST PLACE AND PLAYER OF THE WEEKEND FOR THE SECOND TIME WITH CLANN EIREANN G.S.

WITH EUGENE NOW CUT A FURTHUR 3 SHOTS AND PLAYING WITH PANACHE THE TEAM THAT SECURED HIS SERVICES HAD A GOOD CHANCE OF WINNING.AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT HE LANDED IN FRANCIES TEAM WHO PLAYED OFF ZERO EUGENE 15 DESSIE 19 AND A COMBINED HANDICAP OF 3.5. THEY STORMED AROUND THE COURSE 5 UNDER POWER AND DID'NT NEED THE 3.5 TO SECURE VICTORY.

IN HIS POST MATCH INTERVIEW EUGENE ATTRIBUTED HIS RECENT RICH VEIN OF FORM TO THE FACT THAT HE RECENTLY HE HAD'NT PLAYED WITH HIS REGULAR 4 BALL AND THE HIGHER STANDARD OF GOLF HE EXPERIENCED IN OTHER 4 BALLS HAD IMPROVED HIS GAME.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST CONGRAUTLATION TO MICHEAL PURDY FOR WINNING KEVINS BALL
