My picks for the weekend will be Marc Leishman and McDowell.

Just back in from the 2 games in Carrickmore this evening. Dromore had too much in the tank for Killyclogher and never looked in trouble after scoring a goal mid way through the first half. The 2nd game was a much better affair. Omagh started well and Conor Clarke scored a cracker of a goal before suffering what looked to be a season ending knee injury. Coalisland came back into it to lead by 1 at half time. They started the 2nd half strongly and led by 3 with about 10 to go. Barry Tierney drove Omagh forward and 2 Ronan O' Neill frees and 3 points from play from Connor O'Donnell saw them win by 2. Niall Kerr was red carded for an off the ball strike in the final few minutes.

Quick question regarding tickets. On the website it states that tickets are available for the Canal Terrace. Is this behind the goals or is there just the one terrace which covers 3 sides of the pitch?

Championship games are fixed for 25th weekend so there will be no league game played.

I think that's pretty clear. Thanks guys.

Yeah - grass was clearly on the green, and I didn't tap anywhere on the green. I have looked at a good few websites and have not seen it stated anywhere that I was in breech of rules. There is a fairly knowledgable man who lives near me who I know has officiated at golf tournaments throughout Ireland. I think I'll ask him.

Orior - the guy who mentioned it is actually a good friend. It was Presidents Day at our club. I was on the 17th with a good score going - was in with a good chance of winning (ended up 7 points behind the winner, but I didn't know that at the time). Anyway, I got a prize last night and after the drink was in, one of my playing partners informed me of the ruling. He says him and another member of our 4ball looked at each other and shook their heads after I removed the grass from the green, but neither said anything at the time. Both discussed it again on the 18th tee, and again at the prize giving last night. Only after all this and the presentation of prizes was it mentioned to me. I'm keen to find out the ruling here as if I was in the wrong, I intend to write to the club to disqualify myself and return my prize.

This is what I thought, and what I did yesterday. However I have since been told that I was wrong to do this. I have been told that the green is a separate part of the course and you can only move objects on the green if you are on the green. I have had a look at the rules and, in my opinion, rule 23 clearly states that loose impediments can be moved. My argument is that if your ball is 2 inches off the green and there is a large twig on the green between your ball and the hole, then surely it can be moved. Rule 24-2 is apparantly the rule I have broken, but I can only find reference to immovable obstructions in this rule.

Evening all. I have a rules question, so picture the scene.  My ball is 3 feet off the green and I have the putter out. There is a small lump of grass on the green (loose impediment) directly between my ball and the hole. Can I move the grass without incurring a penalty?

My picks for the weekend are:

Louis Oosthuizen @70/1
Billy Horschell @ 100/1
Graeme DeLaet @ 200/1

Trillick

Omagh

Clonoe

Coalisland
