A Flight
1st Stuart Brown (11) 42pts
2nd Bob St Aubin (14) 41pts
3rd Joe McArdle (17) 41pts
4th Phil Mosdale (11) 40pts
B Flight
1st Ian Corica (32) 38pts
2nd Terry Mangan (22) 34pts
3rd Don Everett (23) 32pts
4th Michael Corica (18) 30pts
2’s: Andy Featherstone, Bob St Aubin and Ian Corica.
Phil Mosdale was playing his first ever game with us today and he had a very good start with a score which would normally easily win most days but today his forty points only got him fourth place in A flight. We had two players with one point more and here Joe McArdle lost out on the count-back to Bob St Aubin. Stuart Brown has returned after a few months at home and he settled in very quickly as he had an excellent forty two points to claim the top spot today.
Although the scoring wasn’t quite as good in the B flight, Ian Corica had what I think is his first overall win with us as he scored a very respectable thirty eight points, which also included a ‘2’, another first for him. Terry Mangan took the second spot with thirty four points and Don Everett, who was playing his last game with us for a few months, got third with thirty two. Ian Corica’s son Michael got the fourth and final place with thirty points.

3rd JJ Harney (14) 34pts
4th Alec Smith (23) 33pts
2’s: Ken Hole, Joe Peters and Serge Stratten
For the first time in a long time we had three flights, one off the white tees and two off the longer yellow tees.
Ken Hole had an excellent forty points of the whites and to make it even better he also had a ‘2’. Despite playing off the wrong tee box on one hole and then having a blank on it, Ted Morris still managed to come second with thirty four points, not bad from someone who had just celebrated his seventy-ninth birthday the previous day. JJ Harney also had thirty four but he lost out on the count back and Alec Smith took the fourth and last place with thirty three.
Off the yellow tees, Phil Mosdale was the winner of the A flight with thirty-nine points, Phelim Moran came second with thirty-eight and Andy Featherstone took third with thirty-six.
In the B flight, Michael Corcica was the winner with thirty-eight points, Colm Lawlor was second one point behind and Michael Williams took third with thirty-three.
Nick Caulfield also had a very good payday as he had the only ‘2’ off the yellow tees.
