Under 15’s storm the Castle

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.

After a day of superb scoring our own Will O’Riordan is at the head of affairs with 36 holes to play. Will recorded a superb 62 (-7) in his second round to have a day one total of 4 under par.

There is a 5 shot gap to two players from Headfort, Conor McCarthy (71 and 68) and Tadhg Burns (67 and 62). Next up is William Walshe from neighbours Delgany at +2 (70 and 70). Rounding out the top 5 is Tom Glennon of Kilkenny at +3 (68 and 73).

Live Scoring – Wicklow Boys

Team Byrne running things at Wicklow Boys

Many thanks to Team Byrne playing their own “Father and Son” competition Monday and Tuesday this week organising the Wicklow Boys … we wish all the boys the very best of luck.  Hope all the practicing pays off!

Tough day at the Castle for Barton team.

Our Barton Cup team were up against Castle GC in their last 8 match on Sunday afternoon.

Castle had the home advantage of 3 matches at home and 2 in Greystones. Ray McDonnell had selected the following team:

At home Chris Boylan/Keith McDonnell and Alan Keane/Ruadhan Murray while away Ollie Nolan/Kevin Barry, Shane Nolan/Craig Hazelton and Diarmaid MacGabhann/Henry Gilbert.

At home Chris and Keith got off to and were 5 up after 9 holes. Alan and Ruadhan were also in good position at the turn as they were 2 up on their opposition.

Away from Ollie and Kevin were 2 down early on but fought back well to be 1 up as they headed to the tenth. Shane and Craig were up against it early on but after winning the 8th were 3 down heading to the back nine. Diarmaid and Henry had their backs against the wall also after a difficult start which left them 5 down after 5 holes.

Meanwhile at home Chris and Keith kept the pressure on their opponents by winning the tenth and they confirmed Greystones first point when they won the 12th to win 7&6.

Alan and Ruadhan’s opposition fought back to be level after winning 10 and 14.

Castle quickly got two points on the board when Henry and Diarmaid were beaten on the 11th and Shane and Craig lost on 13.

Ruadhan and Alan continued to battle and won the 15th to go back to one up.

Back in Castle GC Ollie and Kevin extended their lead on 11 to 2 up. However there was plenty of golf left to play. Two great approach shots by the Castle on 12 & 13 led to two wins and the match was all square. The par 4 14th was halved after a fine pitch shot from Kevin. From there Castle GC won 15, 16 and 17 to win 3&1 and progress to the next round. Unfortunately Alan and Ruadhan despite winning 16 to go dormie two up were called in.

Congratulations to Ray and his panel on a great campaign and I’m sure they will be back again next year.
