Roger Coffey, Gerry Ryan and David Lewis scored 72. In the 9 hole play off on Sunday evening in very windy conditions Michael Gavin proved to be the master of the elements when he beat Denis Kelly by half a shot. Michael is a very popular winner and he received his beautiful prize outside the clubhouse in front of a crowd of about 80 members.
