Hide AdJames Wilson has been a member of Banbridge Golf Club for little over a year but the young man from Donaghcloney is beginning to make his mark. He finished in first place in this sweep, leaving a lot of very experienced players in his wake. You are going to hear a lot more from James before this season is over.

THURSDAY 27TH FEBRUARY
Joe Glass won the Thursday Sweep for the second week in succession. Last week he edged out Sam Wilkinson and this week he beat Harry Burnside. Is there nobody capable of beating Joe on a Thursday? As Bradley Walsh on The Chase would say, “If you think you are good enough, why don’t you come along?”
And Joe just didn’t win the competition; he also scooped a rollover 2’s pot.
1st- Joe Glass (14) 31 points.
2nd- Harry Burnside (21) 30 points.
