Old County Pitch & Putt Club

The club will have representation in all grades at the Dublin Matchplay when it tees off in Glenville & Lucan on Saturday morning. In the gents seniors, Karl Murphy, Gary McGreal, Tom o'Reilly, Kevin Corcoran, George McGreal and Anto Parsons will be in action. Gary was our last senior winner back in 2009 when he beat Tom Walsh in a memorable final in Ierne. Karl Murphy tasted success at Inter level as part of that remarkable hat-trick in 2011. Hard to believe George was at champ way back in 2003 in old County. Kevin reached the final 4 last year. The guys though stand a good chance and will hope for a favourable draw in the Kiltipper venue. Our Ladies are also in Glenville with Pauline Balfe the defending ladies Inter Champion. Pauline with Leinster success under her belt at Inter County and singles level should have great confidence. Laura Whelan won't be playing on weekend but she was another to enjoy good success as part of her double in 2016. Ann O'Shea is also in action after reaching the semi finals in 2017. In the Junior section Kathleen Condron is a former Dublin Strokeplay champion as is Deirdre Curran and both would dearly love to add the Matchplay title to her collection. Captain Angela Smith is in action on SAturday. 

In Lucan the Gents Inter & Junior are in action. SAdly the holder our own Charlie Egan is unable to defend the title this weekend. Liam Comerford, Tom Balfe and fresh from his GAA Matchplay success Lennon Blake will hope to keep the trophy in O'Toole Park. In the juniors just the one player taking part here Conor Parsons, Conor has improved so much and we wish him well along with the other players and will keep you posted of any success.
