The winners were, Brian O’Reilly, Peter Little, Ann Cairns and Irene Graham. Runners up were George Miller, Frank McGowan, Kate Sheridan and Kathleen Lavin. The event, and the food provided were thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thanks to Peter and George who saw to the smooth running of the event.
In the Tyrone and Fermanagh competitions Enniskillen ladies beat Fintona on holes up in the 4BBB event. Fintona however, levelled the playing field by defeating our men in the O’Hare cup on holes up to win. The ladies progress to play Killymoon in the next round. Well done to the neighbouring Castlehume ladies who have defeated Ballyliffin and Portstewart in the Mary McKenna Diamond Trophy. They play Belvoir in the next round.
Castle Hume knocked Enniskillen out in the first round this year. As finalists last year we are keeping a close eye on Castlehume and wish them every success is this fantastic event. The annual Lakeland Open competition was held in Castlehume on Saturday 5th and Enniskillen on Sunday 6th July. Final results have yet to come out of the permulator.
However, as far as the ladies are concerned, one in particular stands out. Sandra McElroy returned 41 points at Castlehume on Saturday. She is five shots clear of the field. Hopefully her performance on home ground on Sunday will earn her the winner of the Lakeland Open 2025.
