Well done to all, and in particular to all of the new Reds who played their first 14 hole competition today. The prizegiving was held in the Clubhouse after the competition with the prizes presented by our Lady Captain, Amanda. Please encourage your boys to go for a drink and some food after golf next Saturday. There is a good junior social scene re-emerging after the restrictions of the last two years.
Remember to collect your prize in the pro shop if you missed the prizegiving.
Hard luck for Ladies Intermediate team
Our Ladies Intermediate team , managed by Mary Cahill, took on Old Conna this afternoon. We had three matches away and so faced a tough challenge against a very strong Old Conna team.
Mary put out two of our Juniors at home and they performed brilliantly. Both Sophie Lumley and Isabella Stewart were in full control of their matches from the get go. Sophie won out by a margin of 5&3 while Isabella won 4&3.
In Old Conna we had a more difficult day. Captain Amanda came up against a very strong player losing 5&3. With Iris Haughton losing on the 18th it fell to Liz Anne Woollam to try to salvage the tie. One down playing the 18th unfortunately Liz-Anne didn’t manage to get the win which would have taken her match to extra holes.
Hard luck to Mary and all the team.
