The Ulster Four-ball team welcomed Down Royal Golf Club to Rockmount on Sunday for the return leg of this year’s first round match. The away leg was shared 2.5 – 2.5 with Down Royal six holes to the good.

The Belfast and District team faced Blackwood Golf Club in the return leg of this preliminary round match. The first leg played at Blackwood Golf Club on Thursday was very fruitful for the Rockmount Team when they won 5 – 2 and needed only 2.5 at home to reach the next round.

Rockmount juniors also had a team playing in the Norman Drew competition; they travelled the short distance to Shandon Park Golf Club.
