Team results Sunday 20th
Congratulations to Barry Massey, Karl Holmes and their team who faced Old Conna in a rearranged Eamonn Darcy Trophy match at first light this morning. There were three singles matches and two foursomes matches.
David Byrne was first out and closed his match out on the 15th, as did our third man out, Shane O’Connor. Daniel O’Byrne, who played second, closed out his match on the 12th.
Old Conna put out their strongest Barton Shield pairs for the foursomes matches but they were no match for Dylan Holmes & Alan Keane who won their match on the fourteenth. Brain Frawley & Diarmaid McGabhann were unlucky not to get a half in their match, loosing on the eighteenth.
Straight after the Eamonn Darcy Team, Colm Mulcahy’s & Eddie Lonergan’s Fitzgibbon were up against a strong Woodbrook team. in a home and away fixture.
At home Colm Mulcahy & Toby Murphy were first out and it took a good final putt by Toby on the eighteenth for the pair to earn a half. Our second pair of Jamie Anderson & David Kirby came out on top, winning on the seventeenth 2&1 while our final home pairing of William O’Riordan & Michael Joyce closed out their match with a good up and down for par on the sixteenth to win 3&2.
It was a tougher day for our away team. Ben Crowley & Gavin Nolan went down 4&3, and Ray Nolan & Rob Tierney lost on the seventeenth, 2&1. Our final pairing of Collie Dunne & Trevor Phillips were narrowly beaten on the eighteenth.
Despite today’s narrow loss, the team is still in with a chance of making the semi finals.
