Howth had another Herculean struggle with Hollywood Lakes in a key match for both clubs in their quest for semi-final place, with only one round left for each in the league stage.
We grafted out a win on the 18th. in one game at Hollywood Lakes but were squeezed out in the other two. At home another titan battle was being fought out and, alas, we lost one game again on the 18th. and won the other two. Possibly a fair overall result – for the unbiased!!! 6pts. each team.

In another match, the league leaders, Donabate suffered a crushing defeat 11pts. to 1pt. at the hands of Forrest Little, who have leapfrogged them to head the league, jointly with Hollywood Lakes on 41pts. We are on 32pts. and have lost only one match en route.

Our final match is V Balcarrick on Friday 18 July. Mathematically we can still qualify if we get a good result and others oblige in their concluding matches.

A note for your diary – The Gala Day will be held at Hollystown on Thursday 4 Sept. This is an individual and team event which brings down the curtain on The Fingal Seniors season and hopefully we will be well represented in this and repeat our victory of 2011 in the team competition.

The continuing lovely weather and the extended”glow” from The Captain’s Prize enjoyment, encouraged our largest turnout for the year to date. 56 players experienced the course in magnificent shape, but demanding stringent course management, to get points on the board. As usual, a few of our stalwarts uncovered the required formula and entered the winners enclosure.

49 competitors enjoyed another wonderful evening for golf in a relaxed environment after the stresses of The Captain’s Prize first day at the weekend. The course is in great shape but severely punishes any wayward shots – not that Mondaynighters would encounter such!
Scoring during the day was modest, but as usual some hot numbers arrived from the later entrants.
Paddy Cooney worked his magic with the computer to determine entrants to the winner’s enclosure.
