Old County Pitch & Putt Club

The Qualifiers for Leinster Gents Strokeplay took place on Sunday and out guys performed well in breezy tough conditions here in Old county. In the seniors, George McGreal, Tom o'Reilly, Karl Murphy and Stephen Murray all comfortably made the cut. In the Inters Rob Berney once again blaze his way to top of the qualiers as he lead the way. Lennon Blake and Conor O'Shea will join Rob in Castletown on June 15th. Well done to all and will bring you news on their progress in West meath in Mid June. 

Ladies and Gentlemen last Friday and Saturday we had a sweepstake competition, which meant one 18 nett prize in each grade. Just over 80 cards were played, well done to everyone who got out to play. Tom O’Reilly continues his excellent form going around the course in 42 strokes (44 Nett) to win the Senior Prize and Kathleen Wohooo Condron had a fantastic 39 Nett in the Ladies B section. Congratulations to all the winners in each Grade

Our gents & ladies teams are on the road again this week as the ladies are first into action on Monday at RGSC. Having suffered defeats at home to Glenville B and away in Loughlinstown. they would love to get off the mark here, but points will be hard to come by in Kingswood. 

On Wednesday the gents make the long trip to Portmarnock, they were victorious in their opener vs Shandon but lost out to Lucan B last week, so like Old County have registered a win and a loss. Paul McGreal's team just missed out on a share of the spoils in Shandon and will hope to put in another hard fought performance in North Dublin, we wish both teams well 

 

This Sunday, 69 players will start on the road that they hope will see them crowned Leinster Champion on weekend of June 15th and 16th in Collinstown. In the Gents Seniors, 37 players are out to secure one of the 13 places in the finals up for grabs. Old County will have 13 players taking part and even the most partisan or optimistic home member will accept we are unlikely to take all 13 places but we hope we can secure the lions share of them. They get underway at 09:00 with our club President Paul McGreal in the opening three ball. 

The Inters are next into action, there is 25 players taking part in the finals with 8 places in the finals available. We have six players taking part here. 

Then in the juniors 7 players take part here with just 2 places in the finals available. We have no Old County players taking part here. 

It promises to be a long day for the Dublin County Board Officers but we hope they will enjoy their day with us. 

We wish all the players the very best of luck and by tea time we we should know the full complement of qualifiers. We will keep you informed right here.
