Coyler is 'The Old Dog for the Hard Road'

It was an oft-used phrase of our much-missed friend and on Saturday it was a prophetic one as Joe Coyle rolled out some of his best golf to win the John Sweeney Memorial with a superb 64-nett score.
On a tough day for golf, with the course playing hard and fast and a two-club breeze blowing, Joe carded a fine tally of nine pars and two birdies to win by two shots.
Successive bogeys at the 13th and 14th put some pressure on the winner, but he responded with a birdie and two pars over the closing stretch to ensure his name will be etched on the magnificent trophy.
The gross prize went the way of Jamie Foley (4) with a fine round of 73 for one-over par, while Deirdre Hensey (22) capped a celebratory week for the clan by taking the Ladies section with a 66 nett score.
We had 150 players turned out on the day, with plenty familiar faces crossing from Rosapenna to play in John's memory – thanks to all that played.
