MENS NOTES:
Finally, we have some sunshine and it was great to see so many around the course over the weekend. Notes and updates for the past week and details of upcoming competitions are as follows.
Alan Maher (Londis) Spring League – The Results Are In!!
Congratulations to Team 16 consisting of A Johnson, T Crotty, M O’Donoghue and S Crosse who are our Spring League winners for 2024. The guys held off a stern challenge from Team 15 made up of P Gaffney, E Blanchfield, G Casey and Dan Morrissey to win in a tie-break. Both Teams were tied on 78 points when their best 3 cards from the finals were added to bonus points they accrued from qualifying, but Team 16 came out on top by virtue of having a better 4th card in finals week.
Coming home in 3rd place was Team 17 on 76 points who were A Kiely, K Burke, B McGrath & Des Morrissey.
Congratulations to all the winners and sincere thanks to our sponsor Alan Maher and to everyone who took part in the League.
