BEST OF LUCK.

On this Thursday our Jimmy Bruen team travel to Adare Hotel and Golf Club to play Shannon in the North Munster Area final. We wish team managers Kiernan Carey and Mark Cagney and the team with a wonderful blend of youth and experience every good luck and hope they qualify for the Munster Finals in Bandon July 14th.

SENIORS GOLF.

Large numbers continue to turn up each Wednesday for the weekly senior’s competition and it was nice to see Jack Morris back in the winner’s enclosure. David O’Connor must be delighted that he has come into senior status as he continues to win on a regular basis

1st Paddy Browne, Jack Morris & Tony Joyce 92pts.

2nd David O'Connor, Mick Walsh, John Callanan & Frank Mrphy 92pts.

GREAT WIN FOR JOHN.

Just home from a Continental holiday and looking bronzed and fit John Twomey showed that the wonderful form he displayed in the recent Winter League was no flash in the pan. With no run on the ball he powered his way to a magnificent 46 pts to Win Margaret Deady’s Ladies Captain’s Prize to the men. His many friends were not surprised when they heard the news as they constantly recall his prowess on the hurling, football, and Rugby fields. In the runner up place just a point behind was David Deady son of the Lady Captain.

GREAT WIN FOR BRUEN TEAM

Heartiest congratulations to our Jimmy Bruen team who advanced to the North Munster final with three wonderful wins over Adare Manor, Castletroy and Nenagh

A special word of praise to team Managers Kiernan Carey and Mark Cagney who had a number of our young members over the three matches which included one,14 year old, one fifteen and two age sixteen. Listed hereunder are the results of the three matches but they do not include the drama and wonderful fight backs of in particular Daryl Hodgson and Stephen Twomey 5 down after 6 holes came fighting back to win on the 19th hole and the match for Charleville.

The home supporters were also delighted with the performance of Damien Lyons and Trevor Barry who won a very tight game again on the 19th hole. Wonderful praise for the young newcomers to the team Conor Slevin, Luke Doyle, Ciaran Carey and

30 April.

CUP AND SHIELD FINALS.

The Winter League Cup and Shield Finals came to a successful finish on Sunday last with victory in the Cup going to the all Kilmallock team captained by John Joe Buckley.

John Joe had very sportingly granted a half match to Declan Mooney absent on a continental holiday. From the outset it was obvious that this game would go down to the wire, two wins for John Joe Buckley’s team came when Dave Guiney defeated Bill Hanley on the 17th and Paul Allen edged out veteran Jim Stapleton on the 18th.

Back came reliable Captains Jerry O’Connell for an easy victory on the 13th and when Joe Carroll won on the 16th the teams were tied at 2.5 matches each.

The rules of the competition stated that in the event of a tie the last pair should play 3 further holes. Quickly into his stride Joe won the 19th. Back came Kieran Donegan to win the 20th and in a welter of excitement Kieran with a bonus shot won the 21st hole to secure victory for the Kilmallock side.

The teams were John Joe Buckley, Paul Allen, Tom Allen, Dave Guiney & Kieran Donegan.

Jerry O’Connell, Jim Stapleton, Joe Carroll, Bill Hanley & Declan Mooney.

The Shield was a triumph of youth over experience as Trevor Barry’s team claimed victory by 3.5 matches to 1.5.

Once again team Captain Michael Davern displayed great sportsmanship by awarding a half match to Cathal Hawe who was unable to play because of injury and these gestures in both the Cup and Shield must surely serve as a precedent for all future matches in these competitions.

Henry Dore won a marvellous match for his team, his putter on this occasion causing no problems. The recent lesson was obviously beneficial. We congratulate all four teams on excellent golf and well done to both winners.

The teams were, Trevor Barry, Cathal Hawe, Michael Fitzgerald Jnr, Mark Cagney & Stephen Twomey.

Michael Davern, Damien Logan, Pat C. Dawson Tony Davern &  Henry Dore.
