On Thursday 10 April, the JB Carr team led by Frank Wallace welcomed Carnalea Golf Club to Rockmount. Out first, Ronnie and Roy Cole had a very tough tussle with their Carnalea opponents and eventually won on the first extra hole.

Elder statesman Paddy Lawlor partnered Bob Jellie in the second match and ran out five and four winners. John McGrath and Al McCune paired up for the third match. That combination proved too strong for their Carnalea opponents as John and Al won their match six and four.
