The only team surviving in the inter club competitions, The Ladies Challenge Cup team, played Killerig in the quarter final on Monday last with Mount Juliet hosting three of the 5 matches at home. Unfortunately for the home team there was no joy to be related at the end of the day with Killerig coming out victors on a 3/2 scoreline. The vital win was secured on the 18th at Mount Juliet by Miriam Farrell of Killerig as Mount Juliet had lost their two matches at Killerig. All the team and their manager, Helen Comerford, are to be commended for the committment and dedication given during the earlier rounds and with a small bit of luck could have gone on to reach the Semi-Final. So that ends that chapter for another year and we will look forward to better things in 2009.
The July Summer Series was played last Wednesday and a full turnout of teams participated with the honours for the day going to the team comprising of members of Craddockstown and Black Bush golf clubs. Conditions were ideal for scoring but again most of the players found the course playing to it’s full length. The winning score of 92 points just beat the combination of Boystown, South County and The Heath players by a shot with a team from the Rebel County a further point behind. The winners had nines of 47 and 45 points respectively whereas the runner-up had nines of 46 and 45 points. The crucial hole was the long par five ,17th, where the winners scored an eagle and a birdie to record seven points whereas the runners-up had a total of 5 points with two pars. Special mention has to be made to our sponsors for the competition, Golf Andalucia, who provided magnificent prizes for the day to the lucky players who won.
