Club Championship Match Play 2024

Greystones took on Lucan on Sunday afternoon in the Leinster Men’s Trophy (Previously Metropolitan trophy) in what looked like a tough assignment, as we had 4 matches away from home.

Manager Mark Byrne sent out a mix of experience and youth. Despite losing two matches at home, Greystones produced a superb performance away and won three matches and were up in the fourth when the match was called in.

Congratulations to Mark and the team on overcoming a potentially difficult tie by a margin of 4.5 to 2.5.

The results were as follows:

Home:

• Keith McDonnell won 5&4
• Henry Gilbert lost 2 down
• Ruadhan Murray lost 2 down

Away

• Fergal Duffy won 2 up
• Colm Mulcahy won 3&1
• Eddie Davis 2 up through 16
• Paul Keane won 4&3

Joe O’Brien and Pat O’Dowd will send our Super Seniors team out to face Killeen Golf Club on Monday afternoon at 1.50pm with all 5 matches to take place in Greystones.

This will be a scotch foursomes match(60% of the high man and 40% of the low man to count towards handicap). The away team will also get a courtesy shot in each tie.

All support welcome and as usual live updated will be available on our live scoring app.

After overcoming Old Conna this morning our Darcy Cup team were out again this afternoon to take on Bray Golf Club in the final. Having being pipped in the final last year there was some unfinished business for Karl Holmes and his squad. Management made a couple of changes from the semi-final line with Darren McCormack and Jamie Anderson coming in for Toby Murphy and Will O’Riordan. In the end it was a comfortable win by 4 to 1 for the team. The scores were as follows:

Alan Condren won 4&2

David Byrne won 6&5

Dylan Holmes was 1 down through 16

Adam Packman/Darren McCormack were 1 up through 15

Shane O’Connor/Jamie Anderson won 6&4

So it’s been a great start to the year with a pennant secured already. However there will be no resting on their laurels for the squad as they will now be targeting the Senior Cup and Barton Shield.
