Former Dundalk and Drumcondra soccer player Gerry Garvan won the Captain's (Johnny Goulding) Prize in the Irish Professional Footballers Society outing to Forrest Little. His score of 36 points was one better than another "Drums" man, Willie Clinton, with Billy Dixon (ex-Shamrock Rovers) third with 34. A current sportsman who would probably trade a few less points on the golf course for a few more on the pitch is Leinster rugby hooker Shane Byrne. After the disappointment of the provincial side losing to Ulster in last Friday night's game at Donnybrook, he finished fourth in this club competition at Woodenbridge the next day with a fine score of 39 stableford points.
