Donegal ETB Golf Society Results and Standings:

The Golfer of the Year standings are finely poised in the Donegal ETB Golf Society after the latest two rounds were played in Portsalon and Bundoran Golf Clubs. Old warhorse, Éanna Ó Mainín and young colt, Ryan Monagle are currently neck and neck after four outings.

Portsalon
Portsalon in mid-October saw the two chief protagonists locked together at the head of affairs on the day. Éanna persevered by the finest of margins after what proved to be a very wet round on the Fanad links, courtesy of a superior last three holes. Rory White was also tied on 37pts back in third with Pascale Gallanagh in fourth place, a point further back with a fine showing of 36pts on a break of tie ahead of local member, Deirdre O’Toole and Danny Conaghan made up the top six prize winners on 35 pts.
