There was a family takeover of the top prizes at the North Western Golfing Alliance outing at Letterkenny on Saturday. The McMenamin brothers, Enda and Barry, headed home having ended the day victorious in the nett and gross categories respectively.

It was, however, a close run thing in the nett competition as scratch golfer, Enda (Ballybofey & Stanorlar) tied on 67 with Danny McLaughlin (13) from the host club. The Irish international won on a countback. Not to be outdone, three handicapper Barry headed back to the Ballybofey & Stranorlar club with the gross prize in his possession after his score of 70 was enough to beat the rest of the field.
