Cork Golfers in Top 20 in Assistants Championship
Mallow’s Ciaran McKenna is the best placed Cork golfer at the halfway-stage of the PGA Assistants Championship in Nuremore. After carding an opening +4 round of 75, he added a level par 71 in the afternoon to take a share of 7th place. McKenna had five birdies and five bogies in the afternoon.
Charleville’s Frank Holly also shot 75 in the first round and was heading for a great afternoon score – only to record a 7 on the par 4 18th hole. The triple bogey gave Holly a second round total of 74 and a share of tenth place. Former Mahon team-mates Davey Barry (Douglas) and Alan Gleeson (Castlemartyr) are both inside the top twenty after 36 holes. Both carded opening rounds of 75, and the both added 76’s in the afternoon. Despite the fact that all four golfers comfortably made the cut (+17), hopes of a win tomorrow will be measured as leader Joe Dillon (Headfort Golf Club) is seven shots ahead of McKenna on -3.

Connolly wins in East Cork
East Cork held their annual Senior Scratch Cup on Saturday and the winner was David Connolly from the home club. The popular winner went around in level par 69 to win the title by a single stroke. The winner started poorly and turned on three over, but birdies on 10, 11, 16 and 17 put him back in the hunt. An all-important par putt on the last was enough to give Connolly a one shot lead and the title. David is also the course record holder in East Cork having shot a seven under par 62 back in 2007. Kinsale’s Cathal Butler was second with a 70 and Cork’s Sean McSweeney also shot 70 for third place. Doneraile’s John Hickey was fourth with a 72. Continue reading
