Zone League Round Up

St. Mark’s have retained the Zone League Division 1 title despite losing their last game against Armagh GC on Friday evening. Their previous loss was against Drumgor in early January but an impressive run of 12 straight wins scoring 77 out of a possible 84 points meant they had the title wrapped up before the Armagh GC game.

 

Drumgor capped off a good season by securing runners up spot finishing 1 point ahead of Armagh GC.

 

At the other end of the table Portadown GC will be returning to Division 2 after only 1 season in the top flight. It looks like they will be joined by St. John’s Moira who failed to get the 1 point they needed to stay up in their last game against Waringstown (result to be confirmed).

 

Kilmore have again won division 2. There was a tight battle for runners up with Tandragee GC edging it from Mullavilly and St. Columba’s. Mullavilly finished third on shot difference.

Great performance by Armagh Juniors

Armagh Zone would like to congratulate our Junior team on their superb performance in the finals of the Junior Interzone. Unfortunately they lost in the final to the more experienced North Down team but showed great determination and team spirit throughout, coming from behind in the semi final against Western to win by 7 shots.  With a lot of young players in the team, the prospects are looking good for the future of the Armagh juniors.  Big thanks also to Paul and Sandra Whittle for putting in their time coaching the team.

Well done to all the team you are all winners!!!
