Senior Cup team defeat Lucan

Our Senior Cup team were up against Lucan Golf Club in the quarter finals of the Leinster South Area. The venue for all four quarter finals was Edmondstown Golf Club.

Karl Holmes named the following team Dylan Holmes, Will O’Riordan, Alan Condren, Jamie Anderson and David Byrne.

First away was Dylan and in a tight game was all square through 9 holes after winning the 8th. Will was up next and after an eventful week in Cork he was in difficulties on the front 9 and was 2 down at the turn.

Alan was out 3rd and was 3 up after 4 holes and after losing the 8th was still 2 up heading for the 10th hole. Jamie was 4th in line and got off to a great start and was 3 up after 9 holes.

Finally David took to the tee and was level through 3 but then took over the match and won 4 holes in a row. David then swapped holes with his opponent and was 4 up after 9.

So with Greystones up in 3 matches things were looking good but you can never count your chicken’s in golf.

Dylan won 4 of his next 5 holes to take command of his game and gained the first point after winning 16 to win 4&2.

Will could not wrestle control of his match back from his opponent and was defeated 4&2. One all.

Alan won the 12th to go 2 up again and swapped a couple of holes with his opponent before closing the match out 2&1. Two one to Greystones.

David won the 12th to go 5 up and finished the match off 5&4. Three one to Greystones and Jamie was called in while 2 up with 3 to play.

Congratulations to Karl and his team. The next round will be on the 11th August at Rathfarnham Golf Club where the opponents will be Blainroe. Dun Laoghaire and Elm Park were the other winners on the day.

Further details will be posted here when available.
