Results – Semiton Pavilion Cup
The Semiton sponsored Pavilion Cup (POY) was played on Sunday in lovely sunshine which drew a large turnout.

Junior Golf
Congratulations to the Fred Daly Munster East Winners!
Huge Congratulations to the Clonmel Boys’ Fred Daly Team who came out victorious last Monday 22nd July in the final of the East Munster Region against a highly fancied Cork Golf Club team. Final score was 3/2 to Clonmel Golf Club with Joe Hawkins holing the winning putt on the 19th Hole after coming back from 4 down at one point in his match. Carthach Leahy & Kevin Barry were the day’s other winners, while Joe Franklin and Junior Captain Matthew Buckley put up a good resistance before going down in their matches.
This is a fantastic achievement for the group, ably led by manager Liam Kennedy and shows that the work being put in at Junior level in the club is really paying dividends.
The All-Ireland series takes place in Warrenpoint, Co. Down on Tuesday 20th August and Wednesday 21st August. Practice on Monday 19th August. Best of luck to all involved.
