Castlegregory Golf Club

Well done to our Junior Cup team on their great effort against Ballybunion in Tralee on Saturday last 11^th July. This was the Club’s first time to enter this competition and once again, as happened to many of our teams this year, the overall match was decided on the extra tie holes in the deciding match. The match was played in driving rain and wind on the excellent Barrow links – some matches were suspended for a period to shelter from the weather. After four matches the score stood at Castlegregory 2, Ballybunion 2. Pat Doody and Mike Tangney had excellent wins while Con O’Connor and Jason Rowan had gone down fighting to top quality opponents. In the final match, Dan O’Connor was three down with five to play but had levelled the match after 18. It was then down the 19^th – this was halved so the match went to the 20^th where Ballybunion had the extra bit of luck to secure the win. An excellent display from our newcomers against very experienced opponents. Very well done to the team management and all panel members and congratulations to a very sporting Ballybunion team.
