Roy is no stranger to success as he has a great record over many years in all the major competitions. Roy, who has had a difficult few years, will take a great deal of pleasure from this latest success.

Hot on Roy’s tail was fellow clubmate Gregory McEvoy with his second open and first section winner ‘Ellen’s Pride’. “It’s hard to believe you are second open NIPA and don’t even win the club, so much so is the competition which exists within Beechpark Social as this is the fifth section winner in the club this year,” said Gregory.
