Old County Pitch & Putt Club

Ladies and Gentlemen last night was Night 2 of our Club Fourball Matchplay which featured the quarter final and semi final matches. This is how it went:

Q/F 1: Karl Murphy and Stephen Murray won against Margaret Collins and Harry Holmes

Q/F 2: Laura Whelan and Stephen Power defeated Ann O'Shea and Kathleen Condron by  2&1

Q/F 3: Brian Gorman and Denis Grace won against Tommy Lynam and Joe Canning

Q/F 4: Kevin Bermingham and Mal Kellett defeated defending champions Agnes Redmond and Dave Redmond by 1 hole.

On to the semi finals and the results were as follows:

S/F 1: Karl Murphy and Stephen Murray continued their high standard of pitch and putt to defeat Laura Whelan and Stephen Power 4 & 3

S/F 2: Brian Gorman and Denis Grace won against Kevin Bermingham and Mal Kellett by 1 hole.

So the line up for tonights 36 hole final (Wednesday 23 August 2023 at 6pm) is:

Karl Murphy (+1) and Stephen Murray (+1) v Brian Gorman (-6) & Denis Grace (-4).

Best of luck to both teams and enjoy your match.  

Ladies and Gentlemen tonight was the first round of the Club Sean Tyre Fourball Matchplay. The course was in pristine condition and the evening sunshine made it very pleasant for playing. The results were as follows:

Match 1: Karl Murphy and Stephen Murray put on a birdie feast to defeat Eugene Coyne and Gerry Clarges

Match 2: This was the match of the night (if there was a Match of the Day for pitch and putt Gary Lineker would be showing the highlights of this match first) as Ann O'Shea and Kathleen Condron got the better of Derek and Brendan Conway on the 2nd tie hole. Well done ladies.

Match 3: Frances Keane and Bridie Roche put on a good display but it was Laura Whelan and Stephen Power to advance to the next round.

Match 4: Tommy Lynam and Joe Canning defeated Teresa Keating and Marie Devoy.

Match 5: Brian Gorman and Denis Grace were in fine form to win against Dolores Mason and Vera Glennon.

Match 6: Kevin Bermingham and Mal Kellett got the better of Deirdre Curran and Liam Comerford.

So the quarter finals line up for Tuesday 22 August 2023 are as follows:

Q/F 1: Margaret Collins (-14) & Harry Holmes (-6) v Karl Murphy (+1) & Stephen Murray (+1)

Q/F 2: Ann O'Shea (-8) & Kathleen Condron (-9) v Laura Whelan (-7) & Stephen Power (0)

Q/F 3: Tommy Lynam (-3) & Joe Canning (-3) v Brian Gorman (-6) & Denis Grace (-4)

Q/F 4: Kevin Bermingham (0) & Mal Kellett (-6) v Agnes Redmond (-9) & Dave Redmond (-2), defending champions.

If players can arrive as early as possible (if you can start between 5.30pm and 6pm, would be great) and we will do our best to see if we can play the semi finals tomorrow night also.
