The Gents team were up against Shandon tonight, both team had won 3 out of 4 matches and a win tonight for either team would put them in the semi final. Old County made the perfect start with the Senior Doubles delivering in Match 1. Match 2 saw a very convincing win for our Inter pairing including a hole in one on the 14th to win it. The Junior Doubles completed the win with a solid win on the 16th. The Singles saw the Seniors and Inters start on the 01st and the Juniors on the 10th. The Opening senior match saw Old County prevail and move 4-0 ahead and there was more success as they won Match 5 on the 18th to lead 5-0. Shandon stopped the rot by taking the 3rd Senior singles to register their 1st point. The Inters have been in excellent form and they recorded a clean sweep to Move old County 8-1 ahead. Match 1 in the Juniors went the distance and was halved. Match 2 saw Old County win and in Match 3 it also went the distance with Old County winning on the last hole. So a wonderful result and the guys now have secured a semi final spot. Their final game sees them travel to Lucan next Tuesday. Well done to them.

Dublin Leagues: Week 5

Sunday, 09 June 2019 20:59 | PDF | Print | E-mail
We have two weeks left in the Dublin Leagues. Old county teams are well positioned as we head into the final group matches. The Gents teams host Shandon on Tuesday, Shandon like old County have won 3 from 4 matches so the winner on Tuesday if there is one should be one of the four semi finalists with a game to spare. The Ladies have bounced back well after a tough start, they now face the two teams who have beaten then, if they can beat Loughlinstown on Thursday then they too can be in a position to reach the knockout stages, we wish both teams the best of luck.  
 

Old County players shine at Dublin Strokeplay Finals

Sunday, 09 June 2019 20:10 | PDF | Print | E-mail

It was an excellent weekend for Old County players at the Gents & ladies Dublin Strokeplay at the weekend. On Saturday in the ladies Laura Whelan narrowly missed out on a 3rd Dublin title in 4 years when she lost out by a single shot to RGSC Theresa King. In the Ladies Junior event Jenn McGreal performed really well to finish in 3rd place. Then on Sunday Lennon Blake played superbly well to finish 3rd in the Inter Strokeplay just missing out on runner up by a single shot. 

Two players though rose to the top of their grade and it was the culmination of several weeks of outstanding scoring both inside and outside the club. Rob Berney was among the leading qualifiers at both the Dublin & Leinster Strokeplay Qualifiers in May, he was also among the winning team in the Liam ward and was a winner at the Fr,Pat Trophy. On Sunday Rob shot rounds of 49 and 49 to win by a substantial six shots from the holder Gareth Walsh. Rob lead by two shots after 18 and pushed on in the 2nd round to make it a procession to the finish line. 

Then in the Seniors, one of the clubs best seniors finally got his hands on the coveted Dublin Gents Strokeplay title, having being denied in 2007 and 2015, the two time Dublin Matchplay champion lead from the front and like Rob had impressed greatly in the qualifiers. He shot 90 in Ierne three weeks ago and matched that score for 36 holes in RGSC. That gave him a three shot lead over three time champion Chris Gallagher. George lead was cut to 1 after 9 and was level with Loughlinstown's Eoin Mitten after 14 holes on -22, but George showed all his class to birdie the 15th and 16th and had the luxury of a three shot lead heading up the 18th. It was a clearly emotional George who spoke of his delight at finally winning the trophy that had eluded him for so long and DCB Chairman Anthony Malone was wholesome in his praise of George on the victory. George win was watched on by partner Ciara and his daughter Robin. So all in all another superb weekend for out players and now attention will switch to the Leinster Strokeplay finals next weekend where Rob and George will be among the old County contingent chasing more glory. 

Well done to the other County winners  Glenda Hoey and Theresa King of RGSC and  Christine Mulvey and Joseph O'Connor of Glenville.
