The finals of the Club Matchplay have now come to their conclusion , a little later than was planned for but in light of the inclement weather of late, it is understandable.  Match Play Winners Letterkenny Golf Club

The singles final was contested on Saturday past between Eunan Mc Garrigle and Greg Magee . Eunan reached the final after beating Patrick Mc Gowan in the semi final while Greg defeated Noel Duggan  to reach the final .  On the day Greg’s form deserted him and Eunan had a comfortable victory in the end.  Winning the  club Championship this year  is just reward for Eunan and it was a case of 3rd time lucky .
