holes here allow you to get up to a pretty fast start. You never know

what can happen. I am happy with the position I am in. I could have been

a couple of shots better if I had taken advantage of opportunities,

And now, the weather this weekend with Cecilia Daly.

Some brighter skies on the way for tomorrow. There is a hint of

brightness here and there this evening, but it is generally quite

cloudy. One or two spots of drizzle still around, but it should become

drier tonight. Missed and low cloud forms, and some fog along parts of

the coast as well. If it starts a little bit grey and misty tomorrow,

don't fret too much, because things will become warm, dry, and it will

brighten up before the morning is out, with breaks developing in the

cloud. Into the afternoon, we will probably see the best of the sunny

breaks, and because the breezes coming from the north, many northern

and eastern areas will be quite cloudy across Britain tomorrow, with

odd bits and pieces of drizzle. The further west you come towards

Wales, south-west England and the Republic of Ireland, the more chance

of sunshine, particularly in the afternoon. For the GAA, it will be

fine, temperatures in the high teens. The higher the temperatures

will be, the further south you will get. Mid-teens towards the coast

with the onshore breeze. 21 is possible the part of Armagh and

County Down. Fine weather is due to high pressure, which is in charge

for most of next week. The good news is, that means it will stay dry for

much of the week. Brilliant news for farmers and growers. And if you

happen to be on holiday next week, you are in for a treat. It may not

be sunny all the time. There may also be cloudy spells. The debit la

hire the 30s south you are, so that means of the South Coast will be

cool and cloudy, but in the sun average reaching the low 20s.
