Old County Pitch & Putt Club

Gowran and Inniskeen may not be the best known courses in the country but Pauline Balfe will remember both fondly after she pulled off an historic double in both courses to complete a Leinster Strokeplay and Matchplay triumph in 2018. What a year it has been for the likeable lass from Thomas Street, she made the Dublin Ladies Senior Inter County team winning the Leinster Inter County and runner up at the All Ireland, scratch cup success in Ierne and loughlinstown and a good year inside the club as well. However her Leinster double must rank top of that list. Pauline had to play three matches over the weekend. She defeated Christine Carroll from Seapoint in the final 3&2. Well done to Pauline. It has been a relatively quiet year for Old County stars on the outside scene but without doubt the star of 2018 from an Old County perspective is Pauline Balfe  - Double Leinster Singles champion. Well done to her.
