on their superb performance today against Killeen Castle. Skerries were close in both matches away when called in as word came through that all three were won in Skerries.
Managed by Peter and Mary Counihan and supported by Captain Peter Lamont and President Aideen Neary at home, a special mention has to go to rookies Rhona and Seamus Mulholland who secured their point on the 14th hole – a great way to start your inter-club career!
annually delivers superb golf and Skerries had a great match against a very strong Island team in Dunlaoghaire today. Joan O’Brien’s team lost out 4.5:0.5 in the end.
In the first match it took an eagle on the last to get the better of Maria Dunne, returning to the venue of her Curtis Cup win. Sheila McGloughlin was well in her match when called in after 14.
