Interclub News

There are a number of big club matches this weekend.  We’d urge members if they can to support our teams.  On Saturday (April 7), the Irish Mixed team play Woodbrook at 3pm, with 2 matches at home and 3 away. On Sunday our Barton Cup team play Old Conna at 1.30 with again 2 matches at home and 3 away.  Also on Sunday the Junior Cup ladies team play Old Conna in Druids Heath.  Best out luck to all involved.

Congratulations to our fabulous under 15s on winning the Leinster matchplay final on Saturday against Malahide. This was the culmination of a huge amount of effort by all of the panel and the coaches, Karl, Barry, John and of course Michael. Having won the first leg 3-2, we needed to secure 3 of the 5 home matches on Saturday. After a tight start (the matches were effectively level after the front 9), Greystones managed to pull away on the back 9 and especially over the last 6 holes. There was a very large home (and away) support on the course. Commiserations to Malahide on a fine performance.

Once again, well done to all involved on what has been a memorable summer for our junior section with a pennant from our under 15s,  runners up in the Fred Daly (with a young team) and a home winner (Chris Lawless) in the Wicklow Boys.

A reminder that the Fred Daly final will take place at 10am on Friday July 28th at Portmarnock Links. If you can make it across to Portmarnock, your support will be welcome. We’ll try to post some news and photos from the day on our Twitter and Instagram feeds. Best of luck to all of the panel.

Our Fred Daly team will play in the Leinster final at Portmarnock Links against Dundalk on July 28 at 10am for all of those hoping to attend.

We are awaiting news on the U-15 final.

With the business end of the interclub season drawing in, we have three teams in action over the next few days. First up, the ladies Revive team play Wicklow later today with a 4pm start.

On Sunday, our Fred Daly side play Kilkenny in the Leinster semi-final. We have 3 matches at home and 2 away. The matches will start at 3.10 in Greystones.

On Monday our Mixed team continue the defence of their All Ireland pennant. We play Stackstown in the Leinster quarter-final with 3 matches at home and 2 away. The matches will start at 4.30.

Once again, all support would be welcome.

On Sunday our Senior Cup panel narrowly lost out (2-3) to Dun Laoighaire in the final of the regional qualifiers. Having beaten Powerscourt, Blainroe and Wicklow over the course of the weekend, we came up just 1 match short on Sunday afternoon in Druids Heath. The golf on Sunday was of the highest standard on a tough course.  Thanks to all of the panel members and management on a very fine effort.

Well done to the under-15s and Fred Daly teams who both progressed last weekend to Leinster semi-finals. The Under 15s managed to successfully negotiate their 2nd leg against Elm Park on Friday morning, having won the first leg 4.5 to 0.5. On Saturday, the Fred Daly team also overcame Elm Park winning 3-2 in a very close encounter. The achievements of both sides are testament to their hard work, practice and coaching over the last number of months. Well done to all and keep it up.
