We’re proud to introduce the 2026 Ulster Over 40’s Champion- Mark McA. Mark had a storming day at the Ulster Closed today in Craigavon with solid performances across the board. He stole the show in the Over 40s event with a convincing 3-0 win over number 1 seed, Daryl Strong in the SF, and a powerful 3-0 win against ‘King’ Des Flanagan in the final. He continued his strong run in the afternoon in the Open event with a 3-0 QF win against Anjali Singh, leaving him meeting Daryl once again in the SF. This time Daryl edged it 3-1 (well done, Daryl), leaving Mark joint 3rd. Not a bad day at the office!
