Inter-Provincials 18th & 19th July – Templepatrick Golf Club, Belfast.
Having beaten both Connaught and Muster on Monday, Leinster faced Ulster in the final on Tuesday in an effort to defend their title.
After his two excellent performances for the Leinster team on Monday when he won both his singles matches, Greystones’ Toby Murphy was out in the foursomes match on Tuesday paired with William Walshe from our good neighbours, Delgany.
The tie was very close throughout, but when Toby and William birdied the 18th to secure a half-point against their Ulster opposition, Leinster could begin to breathe.
Adam Fahey (Seapoint) added another point shortly afterwards on the final green before Jack McKenna (Laytown & Bettystown) secured the win when he beat Massereene’s Scott McCabe 2&1.
“It was a great week,” said Toby, “I felt I played better yesterday but William played great today
“It was nerve wrecking,” added Walshe, “there was never really a moment where you could relax but it feels great to represent Leinster and even better to win”.
Meanwhile, Connacht finished third in the U14 Boys’ event with Munster finishing in fourth.
