a very solid score of 71 took third prize. William Johnston also recorded a score of 71 lon a break of tie to take fourth place. The gross winner

The Minor League team have a battle on their hands to progress to the final stage of their competition after suffering a heavy defeat away
to Buncrana Municipal at the weekend. They came away with only half a point on a tight 9 hole irons only course and had to survive when
one of their players had to withdraw midway during the competition due to illness. The team are however determined to put up a strong
battle in the return leg at home in a few weeks time.
Members are asked to support a Mixed Scotch Foursomes in Aid of the Solace Centre organised by the The Club's President's on next Friday.

LADIES CLUB:
The fickle July weather looked kindly on us and granted us a fine and breezy day on Saturday last when Mrs Audrey Johnston held her Captain’s
Day..Audrey requested a donation to her charity –Breast Cancer Research-in lieu of cards etc.
The day was highly enjoyable with the good weather a welcome bonus and after a sumptuous buffet laid on by our resident caterers Greg and Irene
,Lady President Edith Cranwell introduced the Lady Captain who in her delightful and witty speech thanked her Committee and Officers,those who
train beginners,John “the greens” and staff , the office staff and Grainne, paying special compliments to the dashing Men’s Captain Larry Walsh.
Afterwards the winners were presented with their prizes and in their speeches complimented Audrey on her interesting and tasteful array of prizes,
and remarked that Audrey has many hidden talents which she uses unsparingly, notably her green-fingered ability which she utilises to provide the
club with an amazing array of home-grown plants and flowers from her own garden throughout the year, and complimented her on how she does
her work in an unassuming ,unfussy and highly capable way.
