    As I had mentioned before it is a difficult task to try get accurate info and there are many omissions here.For example at a glance the “Irish Open” is an event I won in 1988,1989,1990 – would have to check for wins after this, as it is easy to recall three wins in a row.

    Drogheda too I can recall 1993 and 1997 maybe others too.

    Likewise wins missing for Malahide and Ballyfermot too. I could find more omissions but………

    But this is just a quick response.

    Main point is that there are lots of events and results not recorded

    Anyway fair play for the efforts to document this stuff.
