Over the weekend two competitions were decided. On the inter club scene the Irish Mixed Foursomes team were pitted against Bunclody but unfortunately for Mount Juliet the Wexford side were comprehensive winners. The two matches at Mount Juliet were lost and once one victory was secured at Bunclody the remaining two matches were called in.
The monthly medal for April was played on Sunday last with the top sixteen players, regardless of gender, qualifying for the McCalmont Cup match play. In the medal competition some fine scoring was recorded in all categories. The lower category was won by Stephen Price with a fine score of 37 points and he had two shots to spare over his nearest rival in this category. The middle category was a closer affair with David Gleeson just getting home on a countback from Gerry Kinsella, both competitors scoring 38 points. The higher category was a triumph for David’s brother, Tim, who had an easy victory scoring another 38 points. In the ladies’ section Amelia Drumm triumphed with a great score of 40 points and she just secured her win by a shot from Ruth Skehan.
The draw for the match play took place immediately afterwards and there was a good divide of men and ladies in the draw with six ladies getting through to the first round as against ten men. Some interesting matches make up the first round which has to be completed by 31st May and the draw can be seen on the notice boards in the two locker rooms. The cut off score for the match play was 33 points with two scores of 32 points just getting the last two places.
