Spring League

The Spring League sponsored by PD Golf has entered the business end of proceedings with two of the four group having completed all of their group matches. Only a few games remain outstanding in groups 2 and 4 and may be played any day up until this Sunday. 

In group 1, Peggy Feely & Kevin O’Connor have secured their place in the final by winning their final match 2 up to leave them on a five match aggregate of +12, a score sufficient to top the group. Shane Loftus & Regina McLoughlin finished one behind and will possibly take one of the two best runners spots.

In the second group, Paul Connolly & Seth Meredith lead and are in a strong position to top the group. Their total score of 9 up leaves them 6 clear of 3 other pairs, one of them being Dave Purser & Claire Cryan who have a game outstanding. 

Moving to group 3, Vincent Egan & Lewis Shaw have completed a clean sweep in their group finishing with a total aggregate of +18, the highest score recorded in the competition. They are followed by Pat Conroy & Susan O’Mahoney who won 4 of their 5 games, finishing with a total score of +13.

 

In the final group, Michael Rush & Gerry O’Hara continue to lead on +8, followed by Paddy McLoughlin & Mandy Toolan on +5. Also, don’t rule out Willie Tiernan & Sandra McCrann who are only 3 holes further back with one game yet to be played. 

Fixtures

This week the weekly 9 hole re-entry competition continues and may be played any day Monday to Saturday inclusive.

Next Sunday there will be an 18 hole stableford for gents. Entry fee will be €7.

This week is also the final chance to get unplayed Spring League matches completed otherwise the non played scores will be applied.
