The torrential rains of the week abated for a short time on Thursday to allow limited play in this week’s Thursday Society.
CITY OF DERRY
When the count was complete it was Jason Donnell (7) who found he had topped the poll by a single stroke. Jason completed his round of 25 points in steady fashion with only a single double-bogey as a blemish.
Just a single shot behind was annual hardy Brian Stanford (12). Playing at the end of the field Brain made the most of the fairing conditions to post a 24 point total that would have been much better without the ugly, and uncharacteristic, blank at the difficult Par 4 4th, “The Whins”.
When no fewer than five players posting 23 pointers the B.O.T rules were called into play. The cleaver fell in favour of Noel O’Connell (Sen) (10) on this occasion, and he collected the third prize on offer.
