Des Smyth's good form certainly rubbed off on one of his playing partners last week. Paul Moran, a 15 handicapper from the Cill Dara club was teamed with Smyth in last Wednesday's Smurfit Irish Professional Championship Pro-Am at Castlerock in Derry. And while Smyth went on to record his sixth Irish title in four decades, Moran won the JJ Mahon prize at his home club as both shot 68 on Sunday.
