After seventy two holes of golf on Monday and Tuesday when he captured the Wicklow Boys’ Trophy for the second year in succession, Dylan Holmes headed for Carrick-on-Shannon for the Connaught boys on Wednesday and Thursday where he played another 36 competitive holes to finish T5th on two over for his two rounds, four shots behind the winner Evan Monaghan from Tullamore.
Jamie Anderson, who finished sixth in the Wicklow Boys also put up a good showing in Carrick-on-Shannon, making the cut and finishing just outside the top twenty five. The two lads deserve a little break after that week!
More good news in the form of Sophie Lumley’s recent sucess in the Philomena Garvey Trophy held at Baltray earlier this month. A touch of history repeating itself with Mary Lockhart having won this same event almost forty five years ago.
Also, Isabella Stewart finished tied second in the Eilleen Roughan Trophy at Lahinch on Monday with a score of 43 points, one behind the winner, Marykate Lonergan from Westport G.C. Well done to both girls who played great golf on these two famous links courses.
