Junior Cup Victory and history in the making

 

From Lady Captain Ciara 
Congratulations to Frances’ Junior Cup squad on a very decisive victory over Lucan today Sunday…Niamh,  Deirdre and Trish had no problems in Lucan after Jennifer and Shauna rocked to victory but the real real excitement was on the 5th hole in Greystones where Shauna hit a beautiful 8 iron to the flag under the watchful eye of Dad who was  caddying and couldn’t find the ball on the green when she got up there….until manager Jacinta happened to look in the hole and there it was hiding out of sight …what a way to get your first hole in one…well done Shauna!

Transition Year Golf 2024

Transition year golf 2024Many thanks to Helen Creedon, Aine ORourke and Amanda Lawless for organising a fantastic Transition Year Golf outing in Greystones. Forty seven boys and girls played representing different golf clubs. This is their 10th outing for the Academic year with two more to play…in spite of the rain it was still a lot more enjoyable than a day in school.

Leinster Men’s Trophy team surge past Lucan

Greystones took on Lucan on Sunday afternoon in the Leinster Men’s Trophy (Previously Metropolitan trophy) in what looked like a tough assignment, as we had 4 matches away from home.

Manager Mark Byrne sent out a mix of experience and youth. Despite losing two matches at home, Greystones produced a superb performance away and won three matches and were up in the fourth when the match was called in.

Congratulations to Mark and the team on overcoming a potentially difficult tie by a margin of 4.5 to 2.5.

The results were as follows:

Home:

  • Keith McDonnell won 5&4
  • Henry Gilbert lost 2 down
  • Ruadhan Murray lost 2 down

Away

  • Fergal Duffy won 2 up
  • Colm Mulcahy won 3&1

Darcy Cup Glory for Greystones

After overcoming Old Conna this morning our Darcy Cup team were out again this afternoon to take on Bray Golf Club in the final. Having being pipped in the final last year there was some unfinished business for Karl Holmes and his squad. Management made a couple of changes from the semi-final line with Darren McCormack and Jamie Anderson coming in for Toby Murphy and Will O’Riordan. In the end it was a comfortable win by 4 to 1 for the team. The scores were as follows:

Alan Condren won 4&2

David Byrne won 6&5

Dylan Holmes was 1 down through 16

Adam Packman/Darren McCormack were 1 up through 15

Shane O’Connor/Jamie Anderson won 6&4

So it’s been a great start to the year with a pennant secured already. However there will be no resting on their laurels for the squad as they will now be targeting the Senior Cup and Barton Shield.
