Update 22nd May

INTERCLUBS -  Hard luck to Aisling Gaughran's Challenge Cup team who were beaten by Strokestown on Friday the 12th. Most of this team had little or no interclub match experience before and they acquitted themselves very respectably, with one game won at home, another halved and one opponent brought to the 18th in Strokestown. The team were: Michelle Quinn and Therese O'Daly at home in Boyle and Catherine Roddy, Kathleen Candon, and Fiona Keenan away in Strokestown. We wish the best of luck to Strokestown in the next round.

Next up are our Seniors' Team, captained by Michael Simon who are taking on Enniscrone Golf Club in the Fred Perry Cup next Friday the 26th.
