[lang_ie]Cuireadh ainm nua ar Chorn Sheáin Ó Longáin i mbliana mar go raibh an bua ag Coláiste na Daoile, Ráth Bhoth agus chuir seo stad leis na trí bliana ina dhiaidh a chéile atá bainte amach ag Coláiste Ghleann na Finne atá mar a deir mé Seaimpíní le trí bliana anuas. Bhí an ócáid seo ar siúl ar na mallaibh ar Chúrsa Gailf na Fearthainne agus Port Nua.
Ar Fhoireann Coláiste na Daoile bhí PJ McGowan, Danny Conaghan agus Alec Reid agus chríochnaigh siad le scór den scoth de 88 pointe agus rud beag chun tosaigh ar Fhoireann Oifigí Riaracháin an Coiste Gairmoideachais (Jim McGlynn, Marcel McCafferty agus Martin Gallen) a raibh 85 pointe acu ag deireadh an lae. Seo an dara bhliain as a chéile iad a chríochnú sa 2ú háit. Sa tríú háit le 84 pointe bhí foireann déanta suas ó scoileanna difriúla (Johnny Sweeney ó Bhun an Phobail, Gearóid Ó Dochartaigh ó Choláiste na Carraige agus iad le Captaen an tSochaí i mbliana – sin Paddy McDaid ó Choláiste Ghleann na Finne).
Bhí deich bhfoirne pháirteacha ina iomláine ar an lá agus ba mhaith le Sochaí Ghailf den Choiste Gairmoideachais a mbuíochas a ghabháil le Cumann Gailf na Fearthainne agus Port Nua le haghaidh an ardchaighdeáin agus fáilteachais a cuireadh ar fáil do gach aon duine. Ar ndóigh, bhí an tUasal Seán Ó Longáin ann don bhronnadh ag deireadh an lae agus é in éineacht lena bhean chéile agus a iníon.Seo a leanas na buaiteoirí ar an lá :-
Duais na Foirne – (1) Coláiste na Daoile (88 pointe) agus Corn Seán Ó Longáin acu.
(2) Oifigí Riaracháin an CGDnG (85 pointe)
(3) Foireann Johnny Sweeney (84 pointe b.o.t.)
An Iarracht is Cóngarach leis an Pholl Gailf :-
7ú Fhaiche – Michael Mc Grath
16ú Fhaiche – Danny Conaghan
An Tiomáint / Poc is Faide :-
4ú Fhaiche – Kevin Murphy
18ú Fhaiche – Johnny Sweeney
Bhí na scóir aonaracha iontach go deo tábhachtach ar an lá agus seo mar a bhí an mhuintir is airde :-
Paul Mc Ginley (38 pointe), Martin Gallen (38 pointe), Danny Conaghan (37 pointe), Oliver Plunkett (36 pointe) agus Michael McGrath (35 pointe).
Cuirtear scór gach duine le chéile i rith na bliana don Duais Ghalfaire na Bliana agus seo mar atá rudaí tar éis an lae seo (an 5ú hócáid) agus le dhá cheann eile
roimh
dheireadh na bliana.

[lang_en-uk]There will be a new name on the Seán Ó Longáin cup this year as Deele College of Raphoe brought Finn Valley College’s three year stint as VEC golf society team champions to an end at a glorious Narin and Portnoo Golf Club on Saturday.
The Deele College team of PJ MC Gowan, Danny Conaghan and Alec Reid came in with an excellent score of 88pts to beat the VEC Head Office team with 85pts, made up of Jim Mc Glynn, Marcel Mc Cafferty and Martin Gallen into the runners-up spot for the second year in a row. Third place, on 84pts, went to a mixed school team comprised of Moville’s Johnny Sweeney, Carrick’s Gearoid O Dochertaigh and society captain Paddy Mc Daid.
Ten teams in all took part and thanks must go to Narin and Portnoo Golf club for the excellent quality of both the course and their hospitality. Mr O Longain was once again in attendance for the presentation, accompanied by his wife and daughter.
Other prize winners on the day were :-
Michael Mc Grath and Danny Conaghan for closest to the pin and Kevin Murphy and Johnny Sweeney for longest drives.
Individual scores were also important on the day, though not winning any prizes they were very significant in terms of Golfer of the Year points with only two outings remaining.
Top scorers on the day were Paul Mc Ginley 38pts b.o.t., Martin Gallen 38pts, Danny Conaghan 37pts, Oliver Plunkett 36pts and Michael Mc Grath 35pts.
All of that means that the Golfer of the Year standings going into the penultimate outing of the year in Ballyliffin on the 24th November are-
1st Martin Gallen 77pts, 2nd Christopher Hegarty 60 pts, 3rd Oliver Plunkett 56pts, 4th Jim Mc Glynn 5th Sean Murphy 53pts.[/lang_en-uk]
