George O’Brien brought his team to Castle GC this morning in what looked like a very tough assignment.
Dylan Cavazza, Ollie Packman and Ruadhan Murray were selected by George for the match.
Dylan got off to a blistering start winning his first three holes. After a couple of shared holes Dylan got back on the winning trail and won 4 in a from the 6th to the 9th. He did not stand on ceremony and finished off his match by taking the 11th hole to win 8 & 7. One nil to Greystones.
The Castle player took an early lead against Ruadhan but he recovered quickly winning the 5th and 7th to go one up. Castle returned to level with a win on the 9th. After a couple of halved holes at the start of the back 9 it became a to and fro affair with both players winning 2 holes each and were still all square after 15 holes. Ruadhan got himself ahead again by winning the 16th.
Ollie Packman was making his debut for the club today and despite an early blitz from his opponent, who won the first two holes, Ollie settled into the match and won 6 and 7 to get back to all square. He then took the lead on 11. His opponent fought back by winning 15 to level the match again. Ollie then won 16 and 17 to close out the match 2 & 1. A fine win on his debut.
This made it two nil and Ruadhan was called in at one up after 16.
Congratulations to George and his team who are now into the last 8. Their next opponents will be either Tulfarris or Newbridge.
