MANNAN CASTLE LADIES

Angela Evers and Anne Fleming turned out to be latest 'A-Team', having been runaway winners of the Daisy Ferguson Scotch Foursomes Qualifier.

They dovetailed nicely, scoring 20 points on the front nine even with a blip on the 9th hole. The back nine was even better, with five 3-point holes to finish with 21pts.

Well done to everyone who played. We had a fantastic turnout for this competition. 19 pairs played overall, the scoring was good, and we had 3 x 37’s tie for 2nd place.

But only one pair will represent Mannan and Angela and Anne have won that honour. Hopefully they bring their ‘A’ game to the Daisy Ferguson Trophy Final in Royal County Down on Monday 31st of July.
