Darcy Trophy Update

Report on Elm Park V Greystones 23/02/2020.

Greystones played their rescheduled Eamonn Darcy Trophy match on Sunday 23rd of February in Elm Park Golf Club. Greystones went into the match defending an unbeaten record in this year’s competition and emerged unbeaten as they halved the match with Elm Park with 2.5 points each. Alan Condren, our team captain, and Donal O’Gallagher both won their singles matches and Eddie Lonergan and Niall Gaffney halved their foursomes after a magnificent up and down on 18th to win the hole and square their match.

Many thanks to Captain David Kirby, President Liam O’ Shea and Kieran O’ Carroll for supporting the team on the day which was very much appreciated.

We have now put ourselves in a great position to qualify for the final day in Dun Laoghaire on April 5th 2020 with two games of the league format remaining. We are away to Powerscourt next Sunday, the 1st of March and at home to Druids Heath on a date yet to be arranged. The match against Powerscourt next Sunday tees off at 7:30am and all support for this important match would be most welcome.
