On a cool June afternoon our Old Conna Seniors team took on Dun Laoghaire in search of a 3rd title in a row.
Dermot Whiston and Pete Murray sent out a team with a mixture of experience and some new players. The competition consists of 6 pairs playing fourball over 18 holes and the 5 best cards counting towards the overall total. As Greystones had the home advantage we had to give the opposition a 5 point start.
After 9 holes Greystones had the following points total 17, 22, 20, 24, 23 and 22 and were in a very strong position. All the pairs kept progressing well and the final scores were as follows:
- C. Watchorn/K. Stewart 40pts
- W. Byrne/J. Teehan 42pts
- C. Tarter/B. O’Connor 41pts
- G McKenna/T. Creed 46pts
- M. Whelan/J. Burke 41pts
- P. Murray/J. Grennan 44pts
Which gave us a total of 214 for our best 5 cards. Dun Laoghaire best 5 cards gave them 173 points plus 5 courtesy points which gave them a total of 178.
So an overall win by 36 points for Greystones and they now go on to meet Kilmashogue in the next round.
Congratulations to the team and management.
