Michael Keating and Gerry Kenny sent their Jimmy Bruen team out to take on the Castle GC team on Sunday afternoon. With two matches to take place at each venue Castle had the home advantage of a playoff in the event of a tie. At home Rob Tierney and Collie Dunne led off and got off to a good start and were 2up as they went down the lane. Next up was George O’Brien and Gary O’Connor. An up and down front nine left the Greystones pair two down at the turn. Away from home Derek O’Regan and Peter Nolan were first up followed by Ray Nolan and Trevor Phillips. Both matches were very tight with no big advantage for either side over the early stages.
At home George and Gary fought on but went down 3&2. Away Ray and Trevor were eventually beaten 2&1 while Derek and Peter gained a half point but this was enough for Castle to go through. Rob and Collie were 4 up through 13 when they were called in
