Match Reports

Area Final Win May 25th/26th

We would like to extend a huge thank you once again to all the Monkstown members who made it down to East Cork last weekend to support the team. We would also like to extend an extra special thank you to each person that walked with the individual groups every day to keep us updated with scores and to spot the balls for the pairs.

In what proved to be a memorable weekend for the club, the Pierce Purcell team played their first match against Mallow on Saturday morning winning the required three matches with the other two called in all square. This set up a match with Muskerry on Saturday afternoon where once again the team won three matches with the other two called in, both also winning at the time. This set up a section final against East Cork in East Cork that has historically proved to be a stumbling block. With as many supporters behind us as East Cork had, the whole team preformed heroically to once again win all three matches with the final two being called in with the winning post in sight. All of the players deserve huge credit for getting through the whole weekend unbeaten. This was a wonderful achievement.

While this was indeed a wonderful achievement, it is now over. The next step on our journey together is the area final in Kinsale on June 7th at 4pm V Bantry. We must again call on the might of the Monkstown support to follow us once more into the breach and help to get us over the line. The more yellow jumpers that are down there, the more our chances increase of getting to the Munster finals.
We would like to send big congratulations to the Cashman Cup & the Ladies Minor & Junior Cup teams who also had wonderful victories last weekend. An amazing weekend for the club was topped off with Eoghan ‘the legend’ Long winning the Douglas Senior Scratch Cup. Well done Eoghan.

Thank you all once again and see you all next Thursday week.

Result May 19th: Monkstown 3-2 Cork

On behalf of myself and John, we would like to thank all the Monkstown members for their wonderful support in our first round match on Saturday just gone against Cork Golf Club. It was wonderful to see so many people supporting the team on the day and we truly believe that each and every person played a part in getting the team over the line. We would also like to thank all the officers for their support with a special mention for Captain Jamie who has been wonderfully supportive over the past few months.

In what was a match played in the spirit of Jimmy Bruen and Tom Egan, both clubs contributed greatly to some wonderful golf. As ever, these matches seem to come down to the wire and we weren’t left disappointed with the standard of golf. With the sides locked at two a piece, it was down to match four with Monkstown being represented by Creagh Neville and Donal Downey. Seemingly dead and buried being 2 down with 3 to play, Creagh and Donal rallied to finish par, eagle, birdie. Possibly the best finish ever seen at Purcell level. This win combined with wins for Gordon Hillgrove & Seamus O’Sullivan and Eddie O’Sullivan & Niall Keely gave us the victory needed to advance to the second round. Another huge thank you to everyone on the whole team and the extended panel.

This is of course only the first round and while we are delighted to get through, the first round is now gone. We need the yellow jumper brigade to rally again and get down to East Cork at 8.30am this coming Saturday and support the team against Mallow.

Thank you all once again.
JP Ryan & John Horgan
