Fred Daly earn another pennant

Our Fred Daly team have got used to playing away from home this year. Blainroe, Bray and Carton House have all had home advantage against Peter Anderson’s team so far.

So the final on a neutral venue would hold no fears for the team. The opponents were Stackstown GC who had defeated Milltown, Grange and Castle on their way to the Leinster South Final.

Peter named the following team:

Will O’Riordan, Toby Murphy, Jamie Anderson, Dylan Holmes and Jack McGovern.

Will lead the team out and after swapping a couple of holes with his opponent in the first three he then gained a lead by winning 4,5 and 6 to go 3 up and was still 3 up after 9 holes.

Toby was next out and he got off to a great start and was 3 up through 6 holes. Despite losing 7 and 8 Toby got back to two up by winning the 9th.

Jamie was on the 1st tee next and despite winning the first found himself one down after 4 holes. Jamie won two of the next 4 and halved 9 to be level at the half way point.

Dylan was out in 4th place and got off to a dream start and was 5 up after just 5 holes. Dylan’s opponent did get one hole back before the turn for Dylan to be 4 up.

Jack had the anchor role and after a sticky start, 3 down after 4, he fought back by reeling 3 wins in a row on 5,6 and 7. His Stackstown opponent then won 8 and was 1 up after 9 holes.

Will’s opponent won 10 to get back to 2 down. A couple of halved holes followed before Will went 3 up. His opponent then won 2 in a row before Will won 16 to be dormie 2. Stackstown then won the par 3 17th after Will’s ball ran back off the green into the water. Dormie one. Will then won the 18th to win his match 2 up. One-Nil to Greystones.

Toby extended his lead quickly on the back 9 winning 11,12 and 13 to be dormie 5 up. His opposition won 14 and 15 to extend the match until Toby finished it on 16 with a win to succeed 4 & 2. Two-Nil to Greystones.

Dylan lost the 10th to be 3 up. Like Toby Dylan then won 3 in succession on 12, 13 and 14 to close out his match 6 & 4. Three-Nil to Greystones.

Jamie won 10 & 11 to go 2 up but his opponent immediately got one back on 12. Jamie won 14 & 17 to finish off his game 3 & 1. Four – Nil to Greystones.

Jack found himself two down after 12 holes but mounted a comeback winning 14 and 15 to get back level with his opponent. Jack was then called in as the overall tie was decided. Four and a half to half a point to Greystones.

Congratulations to Pete Anderson and all the squad and helpers on winning another pennant for the club.

Thank you to Captain Mark, our pro David Lewis and Clifford Murphy for all the photos.
