A great result for the team as they look ahead to the rest of the competition.

Later in the day, the Irish Mixed Fourball team, managed by Rita and Tony Bishop faced off against Dun Laoghaire. With two matches played at home and two away, there was everything to play for. At home, Jonathan & Joyce Kirwan and Mark McAleer & Grace Dodd flew the flag, while the away team featured Niall Stokes & Sandra Cotter and Cathal Cooney & Orla Delaney.

After four tightly contested matches, the match was level at 2–2. That meant a playoff was needed. Jonathan and Joyce Kirwan stepped up. In a tense finish, they secured the win for Greystones on the second playoff hole.

A quick response from Greystones saw them claim holes 3 and 4, bringing the match back to all square. As the front nine progressed, both sides settled into a rhythm, with the Greystones pair keeping things close through the turn. On the back nine, Boylan and O’Neill picked up a win on hole 11, but their opponents capitalised on key moments, winning holes 13, 14 and 16.

With the match firmly in their hands, they saw it out by halving hole 16, sealing a 2&1 victory.

Collie Dunne and Shane O’Neill were the final home pairing out and found themselves trailing early after losing hole 1, but they bounced back with a quick response to win the 2nd. The match was a tight one as Greystones walked down the laneway all square. Collie and Shane made a strong start to the back nine, winning holes 11, 13 and 15 to take a commanding 3-up lead with just three to play. However, Dun Laoghaire refused to go down without a fight, mounting a late comeback with wins on 16 and 17 to cut the deficit to just one. With the match hanging in the balance, the Greystones duo showed great composure and experience on the final hole, closing it out to secure a well-earned 1-up victory.

Des Hickey and Ollie Packman started steadily, winning hole 3 after dropping the opener. The match remained a back-and-forth battle, with Dun Laoghaire claiming hole 4 before Greystones responded in style, winning holes 5 and 8 to move ahead. Heading into the back nine, Hickey and Packman continued to hold a narrow advantage, picking up a key win on hole 10 and following it up with another on hole 11. However, Dun Laoghaire found another gear when it mattered most, producing a strong finish with wins on holes 15, 17 and 18 to overturn the deficit and secure a 2 up victory.

Shane Nolan and Dylan Cavazza were our last pairing out and came out strong, winning hole 1 to set the tone early. They extended their lead with impressive play on holes 4 and 6, keeping Dun Laoghaire on the back foot. Their opponents fought back with wins on holes 9 and 10, but the Greystones duo stayed composed, reclaiming momentum with a clutch win on hole 11. As the match entered the closing stretch, Nolan and Cavazza remained calm, securing hole 16 to maintain their advantage. With the match still up for grabs, they held firm on hole 18 to seal a well-earned 2 up victory.

On a bright but windy Sunday morning, Greystones took on Bray in a fiercely contested Darcy Trophy match. With conditions perfect for golf, the stage was set for a gripping encounter between two competitive sides. Greystones fell just short in a hard-fought contest losing 3.5 to 1.5.

Dylan Holmes set the tone for Greystones with a determined display in a thrilling match that went the distance. After an early setback, losing holes 1, 5 and 6, Holmes found his rhythm, securing a crucial win on 8 to gain momentum. A dominant run on the back nine saw him take 10, 11 and 12, but his opponent fought back on 14. Refusing to back down, Holmes produced a clutch performance in the closing stretch, halving the final three holes to secure a 1-up victory and put a point on the board for Greystones.

David Byrne found himself in a tough contest from the start, losing early holes 1 and 2 before steadying the ship with a series of halved holes. A well earned win on 10 gave him hope, but his opponent responded with victories on 12, 14 and 15, sealing the match 4&3. Byrne fought hard throughout but ultimately came up against a strong opponent on the day.

Alan Condron’s match was a tense affair from the outset, with both players trading early blows. A strong stretch on the front nine saw Condron claim 4, 5 and 6, but his opponent responded well, keeping the match finely balanced. With neither player able to pull away, the contest remained tight heading into the closing holes. A late loss on 17 put Condron under pressure, but he held his nerve on 18 to secure a well earned half point for Greystones.

In the foursomes matches, Jamie Anderson and Toby Murphy were involved in a tightly contested match where momentum swung both ways. After an early exchange of holes, they found their stride mid round, winning 7, 8 and 9 to keep the match poised. Bray edged ahead on the back nine, but Anderson and Murphy continued to fight for every hole, ensuring a competitive finish. In the end, Bray secured the win 3&2.

Milo Doyle and Will O’Riordan also found themselves in a battle, with their match going deep into the back nine. After a slow start, they clawed their way back, winning 7 and 13 while halving multiple holes to keep the pressure on. Unfortunately, a late loss meant their match ended 2&1 in Bray’s favor.

That match brings an end of the Darcy Trophy group stage for Greystones. With some matches still to be played in the group, the team will now wait to see if results go their way to secure a spot in this year’s semi-finals.
