Big Hitting “Ward” Takes Illies Open
There was a fantastic turnout last weekend for the Illies Football Club Open Stableford Fundraiser and the organisers of this competition would like to take this opportunity to thank all the tee Sponsors and competitors for supporting this fundraising initiative. There was some great scoring over the 2 days and none better than that recorded by the big hitting Paddy Ward (18). Paddy has the potential to hit big scores if he got his putting sorted and has been on the verge of winning for some weeks now. So on Saturday morning it all came together for Paddy as he hit 22 pts over the first 9 and even though he was heard saying the back 9 was very slow, he still managed to shoot a fantastic 25 pts to amass his winning total of 47 pts. In this sort of form Paddy will soon see his handicap come tumbling down. The full results of the Illies Football Club Open Stableford played Saturday 21st – Sunday 22nd September are as follows;
Overall/Cat 2 Paddy Ward (18) 47 pts
Gross Jonathon Doherty (4) 66 gross
Category 1 Shane Devlin (6) 39 pts
Category 3 James Gill (31) 45 pts
Best Day (Sun) Martin Barber (41) 42 pts
Visitor Francis Stainsby (N.W.) (2) 35 pts
Back 9 Darren Doherty (10) 21 pts b.o.t.
Nearest The Pin Ciaran Doherty 4. 2”
