1.Sun 4th August 2013 – Bank Holiday Open Singles – Stableford – White Tees – CSS 71

 1st John Burke 43 points

 2nd David Moran 42 count-back

 3rd Joe Moore 42

 In challenging, blustery and sometimes wet weather conditions a huge turnout of over 100 players competed today. The scoring was excellent in the conditions and well done to all the winners. Once again the count-back rule was used to separate the second and third place finishers.

2. Sat 3rd August 2013 – Open Singles Stableford (High Handicap 18 and over) – White Tees – CSS 72

1st Mark Tully 41 points count-back

2nd Phil Cassidy 41 count-back

3rd David Lynch 41

The count-back rule was required to separate the winners in today’s popular annual competition for high handicappers,

again generously sponsored by Peter and Anne Marie Ryan. There was a great turnout of players who enjoyed a course in lovely condition with a blustery breeze to make club and shot selection interesting. Well done Mark on your great round and victory which we hope augers well for Open Week.

3. Sat 3rd August 2013 – Open Singles Stableford (Handicap lower than 18) – White Tees – CSS 72

1st Paul Brennan (8) 43 points

2nd Micheal O’Connor (17) 42

 Gross John Holt (3) 28

 3rd Maurice Cooper (14) 38

 A field of 45 players competed in this competition restricted to those with a handicap lower than 18. Once again the scoring was exceptional particularly taking account of the blustery conditions. Well done to winner Paul on a great score of 43 points. Nice to see Michael continuing his recent streak of good form which is seeing him playing of a decreasing handicap.

Annual Patron ceremonies in St. Aidan Cemetery, Kilrane

Last Sunday, August 4, 2013, a large congregation of family members, relations, and friends gathered for the annual Patron prayers. We honoured all our dead relatives and friends buried in St. Aidan cemetery, St. Ruan cemetery and St. Helen Cemetery. Afterwards a representative group gathered in the Memorial Park at 16.00hrs to celebrate a community memorial of all those who lost their lives in the waters that surround our shores. Diarmuid Desmond PP conducted the prayers for the ceremony and the crew of the Lifeboat concluded the ceremonies by laying a wreath at the memorial in the park and joining Ron O’Rourke to sing the lifeboat song. The weather favoured us by remaining dry until the ceremonies ended at which time it started to rain.

Mass readings and prayers

We will gather next Tuesday Aug 6, 2013 at 19.00hrs (7.00pm) to discuss the themes prayers and readings of mass next weekend the 19th Sunday in ordinary time. We welcome and encourage all to come along and lend a hand to carry out this important work.
