On a cool morning Karl Holmes sent out his Darcy Cup team to compete against Dun Laoghaire. While the team have already qualified for the semi-final on the 7th April it’s important to keep the positive mood going.

Overall it was a close match with the exception of the first match out which was won by Alan Condren 6&5.

So it was a happy manager after Greystones won 3.5 to 1.5. The results were as follows:

Alan Condren won 6&5

David Byrne won 2&1

Dylan Holmes lost 3&2

Adam Packman/Darren McCormack halved match

Shane O’Connor/Jamie Anderson won 2&1

So put the 7th April in your diary, semi-finals will be early in the morning with the victors playing the final later that afternoon. All matches to take place in Greystones Golf Club.

On Sunday at 7.30 am Karl Holmes sends out our Darcy Cup team to take on Dun Laoghaire in Greystones. Match will consist of 3 singles and 2 foursomes matches.

All support would be most welcome. If you can’t make it down to the club you can follow the scores on the live scoring app.

A draw was the final result at the end of a tight encounter against Woodbrook. Again a few new pairings were out together for the first time. Both home and away legs were very tight. Highlights were: Alan Keane playing with debutant Ruadhán Murray getting a comfortable lead right from the start, which they held to the end; Eddie Lonergan chipping in on 16 and again on 17 for that pairing to win a very tight encounter. Away from home Cian and Keith’s match was nip and tuck until the end, with the the Greystones pair winning 15, 16 and 17 to win their match.

The results were as follows:

Home

• Barry O’Leary/Henry Gilbert lost on 18
• Ruadhán Murray/Alan Keane win 5&4
• Eddie Lonergan/Shane Power won 2&1

Away

• Brian Murray/Kevin Barry lost 5&4
• Walter Gilbert/Eddie Davis lost 2&1
• Cian Gilmore/Keith McDonnell won 3&1

That’s two draws and a win so far in this year’s campaign, so a win will be needed next against Milltown on 31st March to have a chance of making progress to the final.
