Ryan McGettigan wins Portsalon Scratch Cup
Ryan McGettigan won the Portsalon Scratch Cup sponsored by Manor Motors on Saturday with a three-under par score of 69, enough to bring him home two clear of the chasing pack.
Ryan was solid and dependable in his round, banking early birdies at the first and third holes. His only dropped shot of the round would arrive at the tough sixth.
He played regulation golf for much of the round thereafter, picking up two more birdies at the par fives on the back nine, the 11th and 17th, to land the spoils.
The runner-up was Padraig McHale, ending out Enda Kennedy on a break of tie.
Paschal Cullen took the nett prize, carding a 68 nett score with three birdies and five bogeys.

Donal Callaghan Jnr bags in the Intermediate Scratch Cup
In the Intermediate Scratch Cup, once more kindly sponsored by Manor Motors, it was another Kerrykeel man that got the spoils as Donal Callaghan Jnr denied Captain's Prize winner Justin Green a big summer double on a break of tie.
Both men went around in 81 shots, four better than the remainder of the field could manage. Justy was left to rue a costly nine on the 16th hole, while Ducky overcame six shots dropped in four holes leading to the turn as he parred seven of the last eight holes to for a slender win.
John Shields took the bronze medal with an 85, while Pat Green got the nett section with a 69 nett score.
