Fred Daly team defeat Carton

Our Fred Daly team had a tough opponent in Carton House and made tougher by the away draw. So Greystones had three away and two at home.

Representing Greystones at home were Toby Murphy and Jack McGovern while away it was Will O’Riordan, Dylan Holmes and Jamie Anderson.

At home Toby got away to a great start and was 2up after 5 and extended his lead to 5 up after 9 holes Jack was in a tight battle and was one down as he headed down the lane.

In Carton Dylan was also in a close match and was all square after 9 holes. Will was one down through 4 but then 5 of the next 9 holes to be 4 up and looking comfortable. Last up away was Jamie and again he got away to a flying start and was 3 up after 6 and still held that lead after 9 holes.

Toby put the first point on the board with a 5&4 win. Will followed him shortly after with a 4&2 win. Dylan’s match continued to be a very tight affair with never more than a hole in it. Dylan eventually won the point by winning 15 & 17 to win 1up. Jamie followed with a 3 & 1 win after winning the 17th hole. Finally Jack McGovern battled all the way to 18 for a half point in another really close match where there was never more than a hole between the players.

Congratulations to Pete and his team on advancing to the next round.

Junior Girls Match v Elm Park

Our Junior girls played a match against Elm Park yesterday.

Aoife Dempsey & Chloe Creedon played at home and Jane Lumley & Doireann Dowdall played in Elm Park in four singles matches.

Aoife & Chloe got off to strong starts and while they faced stiff opposition from the lower handicapped visitors, both were 3 up at the turn. Meanwhile in Elm Park, Doireann got off to a very steady start, up early in her match while Jane was swapping holes with her opposition. At the turn Doireann was 2 up and Jane 1 down. It’s worth saying that Doireann was playing against Kate Fleming, playing off 3. Kate had been playing in The Womens Irish Amateur championships in Woodbrook during the week and had played 18 holes there earlier in the day. I greatly admire her support for junior golf in her club to come back and play in our match. Her ball striking was superb but Doireann also played beautiful golf and was able to use her ‘shots received’ very well.

In Greystones, after halving a number of holes Aoife teed off on 15 still 3 up. Both players found the thick rough down the right but Aoife’s clever course management skills paid off and she found herself on the green with little damage done and with her opponent unable to halve, the match was over – a 4&3 win.

Having to give an in-form Chloe a shot a hole was always going to be difficult and despite her best efforts the Elm Park girl was still 3 down after 15. A lovely tee shot on 16 set Chloe up to win the hole and close out the match 4&2.

On 12th tee in Elm Park Doireann was 2 up, and after a beautiful drive and a superb 2nd to 20 feet she went 3 up as Kate could only match her par while giving a shot. Also on 12 Jane found herself 2 down but made an excellent up & down par to go back to 1 down. On 13 her tee shot found trees right but she played a superb recovery shot to set up a nett par and a win to go back to all square.

At this stage the results had come in from Greystones and after Jane had teed off 14th we could see Doireann & Kate standing off to one side, their match having finished on 15.

A 3.5-.05 win for Greystones! Excellent golf played on both sides and played in good sporting fashion. Many thanks to Helen Creedon for looking after the home team and to June O’Brien in Elm Park for their hospitality.

Junior Foursomes ease past Killiney

On Friday morning our Junior Foursomes team were up against Killiney with both matches in Greystones.

The format combines the scores from both matches. Representing Greystones were Dylan Holmes with Dylan Cavazza and Jamie Anderson with Ruadhan Murray. Both pairs got off to flyers with the Dylan’s 4 up through 6 holes and Jamie and Ruadhan 7 up at the turn.

Killiney fought back with 2 wins on 7 & 8 against Holmes and Cavazza but Greystones reestablished their lead by winning 3 of the next 4 to be 5 up at the 12th.

Jamie and Ruadhan continued on their merry way to be 9 up through 13 holes.

As Greystones were now 14 holes up with only 11 to be play they progress to the next round where we will meet Bray or Delgany.

Congratulations to Karl Holmes and his team.

Fred Daly March on

Our Fred Daly were up against near neighbours on Sunday afternoon. Bray had the advantage of the home draw so we had 3 matches in Bray and 2 at home. At home we had Toby Murphy and Milo Doyle while away Dylan Holmes, Will O’Riordan and Jamie Anderson.

After 9 holes at home Toby had a two hole advantage and Milo was all square. Meanwhile in Bray at the turn Jamie had opened up a sizeable advantage and was 5 up. Dylan was 1up and Will was 3 down.

After the turn Toby powered on and delivered the first point with a 6&4 win. Jamie followed suit in Bray winning 5&4. The other 3 matches were extremely tight and Dylan finally put his opponent away 2&1 which gave Greystones the required 3 points. Milo was called in while all square after 16 and Will was called in while 1 down through 16.

Up next will be Edmondstown or Carton House.

Shauna’s Ace in the Ladies Junior Cup!

Huge congratulations to Shauna Seifried who had a hole-in-one in her Junior Cup ladies match against Lucan GC yesterday on the 5th!

A nice smooth 8 iron, excellently clubbed by her caddy and Dad, Brendan.

Shauna went on to win her match 7&5, which in itself was nearly as impressive as her efforts on the 5th, as the ladies progressed safely to the next round (congrats also to Jenny Moore of our Junior Committee who won her match 6&5).

Well done Shauna, another one of our very talented, dedicated and hard working Junior members representing our section so brilliantly on our senior teams.

Fred Daly V Blainroe
