Ballybunion's Eleanor O'Sullivan made it a week to remember when she won two singles competitions over the famous Kerry links. Her first victory was a close shave, however, as she only beat 28 handicapper Helen McNerney on a countback after both had tied on 40 points in the weekly singles competition.

Then playing off 16 - having been reduced from 17 after her earlier win - Eleanor won the SWING competition as she shot a nett 70 for a two strokes win over Lucy McAuliffe (26), with Patricia Boyle (33) a further shot adrift.
