Mayor Warke said: "It was a pleasure to invite members from each of the Ulster-winning teams to the Alley Theatre for a reception to celebrate their fantastic achievements.

"Under the steady leadership of Joe and Jimmy, both groups proudly represented Strabane Golf Club so well on the highest stage. It was brilliant to see both titles making their way back to the town and I congratulate the two captains and their teammates on their successes.

"I wish everyone at Strabane Golf Club well and here's hoping there will be many more titles and trophies to celebrate this season and in the seasons to follow."
