Leinster Men’s Senior Interclub lose to Naas

Our Men’s Leinster Senior Interclub team were playing there 3rd round against Naas Golf Club. Trevor Phillips was looking after things in Naas while Stephen O’Brien was in charge at home. The team selected were as follows:

Home:

  • Neil Lawless and Paul Creedon
  • Michael Whelan and Macdara Cummins

Away:

  • Colm Drew and Conor Lucey
  • Dermot Barry and Andy Nolan

Naas got off to a good start in the first game and we’re two up after 7 holes. They added another win on 9 to be 3 up against Neil and Paul.

In the second game Michael and Macdara were two down after 3 but won 4 of the next 5 holes. Naas pulled one back on 9 for Greystones to be one up at the turn.

Meanwhile away in Colm and Conor were up first and got away to a steady start and were all square after 4 holes. They won 2 and lost one of the next three and were one up after 9.

Dermot and Andy had a tough start and found themselves 2 down after 4 but steadied the ship and remained 2 down after 9.

At home Paul and Neil were looking to reel in their opposition and started well by winning the tenth. However wins by Naas on 13 and 16 meant Naas went one ahead after a 4&2 win

Macdara and Michael also won ten to go 2 up. Another win on 13 put them in control but two quick wins by Naas on 14 and 15 made things interesting again. A win on 17 closed the match out 2&1 and levelled the tie at one all.

All eyes now were on Naas as they had started half an hour later.

Andy and Dermot won the tenth to trim the deficit to one. Unfortunately that was as close as they got as Naas pressed home their advantage by winning 12, 15 and 16 to win 4&2. Naas now were 2-1 up.

Last match out were Colm and Conor. They extended their lead to 2 by winning the 11th. Naas had their backs against the wall and came out fighting and won the 13th, 15th and 16th to go one up. A half on 17 was all Naas needed to guarantee the half point they needed to progress to the next round.

Commiserations to Trevor and Stephen and the team and best of luck to Naas in the next round.

A huge thank you to Ciara and Mark, for both your prizes today and your ongoing support for Junior golf in GGC. We have a Junior Section that is the envy of many clubs!

Thank you also to Paul, Jackie and the team behind the bar and also to Ali, Liz, Olivia and the team in the kitchen who fed and watered everybody.

We also had a busy week in the provincial championships. Will O’Riordan was just pipped at the finish line when he was beaten in a play-off for the Munster U18 Boys after shooting a great final round of 2 under par 69, playing his last 6 holes in 3 under par. This followed Will’s 3rd place finish in the Leinster U18 Boys a few weeks ago – great golf Will! Dylan Holmes was tied 22nd, while Jamie Anderson and Toby Murphy also played. And well done to Dylan, Jamie and Will who played for our Mens Senior Cup team today in a great win over Lucan in the Leinster South Area quarter-final.

Isabella Stewart shot a final round of 73 to finish tied 5th in the Munster U18 Girls and Shauna Seifried finished in 12th place after a final round of 79 (Sinead is following you Shauna after a great score today!). Well done ladies!

Up in Tyrone, Ruadhán Murray shot a 77 to finish in 8th place in the Ulster U14 Boys. Ruadhán will make his interprovincial debut in 2 weeks time for the Leinster U14s when they play Ulster. Well done Ruadhán!
