It was a fantastic Sunday for Greystones Golf Club, with two teams in action and two brilliant results to show for it.
First out was the JB Carr team, managed by John Kinsella and Pat O’Neill, who took on Bray. It was a strong performance across the board, with Greystones coming away with a well-earned 3.5 to 1.5 win. Their first of the group stage. A great result for the team as they look ahead to the rest of the competition.
Later in the day, the Irish Mixed Fourball team, managed by Rita and Tony Bishop faced off against Dun Laoghaire. With two matches played at home and two away, there was everything to play for. At home, Jonathan & Joyce Kirwan and Mark McAleer & Grace Dodd flew the flag, while the away team featured Niall Stokes & Sandra Cotter and Cathal Cooney & Orla Delaney.
After four tightly contested matches, the match was level at 2–2. That meant a playoff was needed. Jonathan and Joyce Kirwan stepped up. In a tense finish, they secured the win for Greystones on the second playoff hole.
A huge well done to all the players and management involved in both matches. Two great results.
