RESULTS - The three prize-winners in the men’s midweek stableford competitio­n all had 20 points and were only separable by “countback” with Brendan Gaffney taking first place, just edging Tom Kearney and Jim Callery into the runners-up spots. COUNTY CUP - Well done to our friends and neighbours in Ballaghade­rren Golf Club for being the originator­s and driving force behind the “County Cup”. Castlerea were the first winners of the competitio­n which was held on Saturday the 8th in Ballaghade­rreen. Boyle Golf Club looks forward to hosting it next year and hope we can do as good a job as Ballaghade­rreen did in 2018. FIXTURES - The men’s midweek 9 hole stableford will continue for the next few weeks. Sunday competitio­ns for the next few weeks for the men will include an 18 hole strokeplay next Sunday the 16th followed by 18 hole stableford­s on the 2 subsequent Sundays. ARRIVALS- The club extends hearty congratula­tions to the Smith, Egan and Keenan families who have all had babies in the past few weeks and hopes to see all 3 children making their presence felt in the club in the years to come!
