Final of the Easter Snooker Doubles Tournament raises money for a new cloth for the Club Snooker Table

30th April 20190 commentsGeneral News, Men's Club News

Congratulations to John McDonnell and Eddie Williams

who won the Final of the Easter Snooker doubles tournament on Monday 29th April.

Mike Weldon and Willie Prendergast were honourably defeated by John and Eddie in a tight final.  The first frame was won on the pink, the next went to a re-spotted black and the final frame was won on the blue.

A big thank you to the sponsors, Austin Gill, John McDonnell, Mike Weldon, Paul Kenny, Willie Prendergast and Anthony Doyle.

The event raised €170 towards the cost of the new cloth. The total raised is €490, an excellent response to the clubs request to assist with finances this year.  Thanks to all contributors.

In September a doubles competition will be run for all members.  The format will be a handicap league with 1 doubles frame, and four short rack ( 6 reds ) singles frames per round.  Entries will be invited in August.

The Snooker Committee wishes one and all a wonderful Summer.

Irish Mixed Foursomes Team unlucky against Beaverstown

Hard luck to Skerries

who went down 3.5-1.5 to Beaverstown in the second round of the Irish Mixed Foursomes on Sunday.

The standard of golf was excellent and a few putts here and there was all that separated the two teams in the end.  Best of luck to Beaverstown for the rest of the competition.

Thanks to a great Skerries panel.  Photo shows our home team on the first tee.

Super Saturday for Skerries Teams

27th April 20190 commentsGeneral News, Juvenile & Junior Interclub Teams, Ladies Team News, Men's Club Team News

Congratulations to our Ladies Junior Cup team, our Ladies Intermediate team and our Boys Junior team.

Congratulations to our Ladies Junior Cup team (managed by Hilda Cussen) who beat Ardee Golf Club 3:2 on Saturday  in Greenore.  All were tight matches in very difficult conditions for golf.

The second Skerries win of the day went to the Ladies Intermediate team, managed by Patricia MacClancy, beating Blackbush Golf Club today in Hollystown.  Skerries won four matches.  The fifth match was 2 up and was called in going to the 16th.

Another great result for our boys junior team that won their Irish Foursomes match 5 up against a very strong Malahide team at Malahide today.

The tie is based on the aggregate score of the two pairings and was settled when we were 3up on the 17th and 2up on the 16th.

The reconstruction of the 3rd and 5th greens by Dar Golf to the excellent re-sodding of the 3rd Tee box by our own course staff, not to mention their refurbishment of the 11th Tee box and the general good look of our course at the moment is worthy of celebration.
