Well done to Colm Mulcahy & Eddie Lonergan and their Barton Cup team who had a good win today against Woodenbridge. Two away wins by the Liam Moulton & Colm Mulcahy (on the eighteenth) and Jamie Anderson & David Kirby (an emphatic 5&4 away win) pairings set up an extremely tense finish for the two home matches which had started forty minutes later. Brian Frawley & Trevor Philips seemed to be out of it after eleven holes when they were three down but the fought back to get to one down playing the seventeenth where they eventually lost. With Ray Nolan & Steven Bourne losing away it all came down to the last match at home. Chris Boylan & Rob Tierney played great golf to get to three up with four to play but their Woodenbridge opponents kept them honest and a five on the eighteenth was enough for the match to have to go to the nineteenth. At this stage a large crowd of supporters had gathered adding to the feeling of drama. Neither pair hit the first green and it took a great up and down for par that sealed their match and the overall tie for the home club.
Many congratulations to all involved today.
