Thursday Society members stayed at home for their annual Ted Pope Trophy competition this year and enjoyed playing their own course in it’s immaculately prepared condition.
Scoring was of the highest quality with two players returning 41 points that needed a tie break to decide the winner.
Alastair Crockett (12) returned 22 points over the back nine edging out the much improved Robbie Kennelly (16) on the countback.
Pat McAllister (28) was third on 38 points, a score that was equalled by Alan (Bean) Simpson (8) but Pat got the verdict thanks to his superior last six holes total.
The fifth and final prize went to Ricky Porter (17) who scored 37 points.
The Society Skipper Martin McNulty presented the prizes and thanked all involved in the running of the Society. Noel O Connell (snr) takes over as skipper when the Society resumes action in October.
Thursday Open
The weekly Thursday Open ran in conjunction with the Ted Pope Trophy and Aaron Taylor (1) once again was in unbeatable form going round in 68 strokes that included one incredible spell of five under par over a six hole stretch from the 7th to the 12th.
He finished on 40 points along with Eamon Brady (21) and Stuart McClelland (8) respectively.
Best of the visitors was Brian Wallace (7) Dunfanaghy making a welcome return to Prehen and scoring 38 points.
Thursday Opens continue right through to October
