Threesomes Cup

On Sunday the 14th of June an entry of 15 teams gathered at Port St Mary for the annual Mens Threesomes competition, once again kindly sponsored by Colas (I.O.M) Ltd. On a glorious sunny day and a running tricky green the Onchan team of Matthew Quirk, Kevin Quirk and Glynn Hargraves ran out the eventual winners with a comfortable 21-11 win in the final over Nigel Thomas, Ben Dugdale and Tony Dugdale. The latter team having come through a close semi final over the Marown Three of Colin Kelly, Mike Cain and Neil Withers. In the other semi the Onchan team had a slightly easier time of it against the old stalwarts of the competition in the form of another Marown team of Arnie Withers, Juan Kelly and Ian Kissack.

At the end of an entertaining days bowling, competition secretary Ewan Cooil thanked the greenkeeper and the ladies of the club for supplying a great playing surface and a wonderful supply of refreshments before introducing Ian Dunbar from Colas (I.O.M) Ltd to present the prizes to the successful teams. A good day was had by all.
