Friday 10th July
Heartache yesterday for our Irish Mixed Foursomes team who played the Leinster quarter finals against Baltinglass. With 3 matches away it was always going to be tough and so it proved. Early on it looked like it was going to be a disaster with all matches down after 3 holes however credit to the team they pulled back. Away in Baltinglass Shane O’Connor & Lisa Croke went down 6&4 but straight away Barry Davis & Ciara Marmion pulled it back to 1 all with a 3&2 victory. Meanwhile in Greystones Barry & Aideen O’Leary won 2 up however Eddie Lonergan & Mary O’Neill lost 2&1 having fought back earlier from 3 down to have the match all square after 14. It came down to the away match of Alan Condren & Geraldine O’Shea who were 1 down playing the 18th and were unfortunate to end up with a tricky chip on the wrong side of the hole. The hole was halved and the match won by Baltinglass. A sad day for all involved, thanks to all the panel and to Jennifer Moore and Pat Gormley who put so much effort into the team this year.
