Bree Electrical Services Ltd Competition
Better late than never!
We missed last week’s notes, so we’re giving the Bree Electrical Services competition its own moment in the spotlight.
It was a tightly fought affair, with three players finishing on 39 points and the honours decided by countback.
Darren McQuillan – 39 pts
David O’Neill – 39 pts
Gareth McMahon – 39 pts
Three players separated only by the finer details of the scorecard. Congratulations to Darren on taking the honours, and to David and Gareth on excellent rounds.
A big thank you to Bree Electrical Service for their kind sponsorship and support of the club.
A Tale of Two Courses…
Going back to last week’s Bree Electrical competition, we also had the pleasure of hosting Knightsbrook Golf Club as part of a great tee-swap initiative.
The Knightsbrook golfers returned a winning score of 35 points at Concra.
Meanwhile, your humble correspondent had a front-row seat at Knightsbrook to watch Dessie Woods put together a magnificent 43 points.
We’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions.
A big thank you to everyone involved in the tee swap with Knightsbrook. It was a fantastic initiative and hopefully one we can repeat.

Coogan Carriers Competition
The good scoring continued at Concra Wood this weekend, with David Eakin producing an excellent 43 points to take the Coogan Carriers sponsored competition.
David Eakin – 43 pts
James Kiernan – 42 pts
Gavin Corrigan – 39 pts
David’s 43pts off a single figure handicap is superb golf. And it needed to be superb golf to hold off James Kiernan.
James continues to make a serious case that summer isn’t quite finished yet, adding another excellent round to what has been a very rich vein of form. This was his second competitive under-par round in a matter of weeks, and he looks to be enjoying himself with the short stick.
