The final of the 2015 Owen McDaid (Roe) Winter League at Buncrana Golf Club will take place this weekend as father and son pairing, Jim and James Caldwell battle it out with Martin McLaughlin and Sean McMenamin for the title in the qualifiers section.

And in the non-qualifying section Willie McLaughlin and John Porter will take on Benny Murphy and John Doherty, with both matches to be played on or before Sunday, January 3rd.

In the semi-finals of the qualifiers section last weekend, the match of the day was between the father and sons combinations of Jim and James Caldwell against Sean and Sean T Murphy.

This proved to be a very close match with some excellent golf played between the pairings with Jim and James running out eventual winners.

In the other semi-final Martin McLaughlin and Sean McMenamin defeated Liam O’Donnell and Barry Dillon 3&2.

In the non-qualifiers section both semi-finals were close affairs with Willie McLaughlin and John Porter defeating Owen Doherty and Ronald Longwill 1 up and Benny Murphy and John Doherty defeating Eamon Doherty and Shaun McMenamin at the first tie hole.

Meanwhile, there was also an 18 hole Open Stableford played last weekend.
