INTER CLUB MATCH RESULTS – UDEN CUP

A match report from Team Manager Austin Gill – ‘All good things come to an end and sadly the Uden Cup Teams great run came to the end on Sunday 29th last.
Playing Clontarf GC in the Semi Finals with 3 matches away and two at home the team were beaten 3-2. The Uden team were the last team standing representing the Men’s Club in 2018.

The last match went to the 18th in Skerries after a great fight back from 3 down after 10 holes to get back to 1 up playing 17th.

Team Manager Austin Gill and Assistant Manager Willie Prendergast wish to thank their panel for their commitment and dedication over the last six months. A great team spirit prevailed with everybody giving 100% no matter what was asked of them. The experience that the panel got , most of them representing Skerries GC and wearing the Maroon and Black for the first time augurs well for future inter club campaigns.

The Manager and Team wish to thank Captain Dominic, Vice-Captain Tom and President Celly for their support at all matches. It was especially encouraging to see the numbers of members that turned out last Sunday to support the team in Skerries, it was greatly appreciated.

Roll on 2019!’

INTER CLUB MATCH RESULTS – REVIVE ACTIVE

Congratulations to our Ladies Revive Active Team who had a fantastic win on Sunday, beating Milliscent GC in the Quarter Final. A wonderful result winning 2 matches at home and even better 2 matches away.

‘The weather was not pleasant but it did not deter us, so onwards and upwards!’
The Ladies are now in the Semi-Finals, with a match against Ashbourne GC, whilst not yet confirmed the match looks likely to take place on Sunday 19th August 2018, with three matches away and two at home. Further details will be confirmed in due course.

The Ladies won this competition and therefore a Pennant three years ago, it would be lovely to repeat that success, but for now all efforts are on winning the Semi-Final.

Managers Mary Kenny and Grainne O’Connor would like to thank all the Team for playing their best and getting such great results, also the Subs and the Panel who have been so supportive throughout. Also to thank acting Manager Mary Leonard who has done such a great job at each match at Skerries.

Finally, the Team, Panel and Managers would like to thank you the members for your continued support to date, it has been fantastic and hope you will be there again when they next take on Ashbourne GC.

MEMBER SURVEY

May I thank all those members who took part in the Member Survey, there were approximately 280 replies in total, by the time the survey closed.

The Strategic Committee will now start analysing the results – as there are a number of Comments to be reviewed, this process will take a little time, after which the results will then be communicated to you the members.
