HARSH WEATHER NO MATCH FOR COUNTY ARMAGH SPIRIT

The persistent rainfall – which carried on from where the preceding week's hefty snowfall left off – didn't exactly hint at the arrival of spring-like conditions at County Armagh Golf Club.

Nevertheless, both the reintroduction of an 18-hole course and the sight of a sponsor's name on the weekend fixture list did at least indicate that the start of the full competitive season isn't too far away.

The Four-Ball Eclectic on Saturday 10 March was kindly supported by DS Refrigeration Ltd and saw one particularly deadly quartet keep their cool to leave their rivals feeling the chill.

Jonathan McKnight, Derick Hynes, Stephen Catterall and David Leeman have been no strangers to individual awards in recent years.

Four-Ball Eclectic competition sponsor Declan Slevin of DS Refrigeration, along with his son, presented prizes to Stephen Catterall and David Leeman from the winning team, and Gary McAleavey from the third-placed group. Also pictured is County Armagh Golf Club Captain, Colm Shannon.
