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.

No luck for Skerries in the Andy Desmond Trophy

21st April 20190 commentsGeneral News, Juvenile & Junior Interclub Teams

Hard luck to our Junior Boys (under 20)

playing in the Island Golf Club last Thursday morning.  Played at Easter each year, the first two rounds of the Andy Desmond Trophy were called off last Monday (strong winds and rain) and were reconvened on Thursday.  Playing The Island on their home turf proved too much for the Skerries team of Ethan McGarry & Darragh Earley and Robert Kenny & Nathan Grimes.  Great experience for our lads who did Skerries proud.

Metropolitan Cup Team loses out to Royal Dublin

14th April 20190 commentsGeneral News, Men's Club Team News

Hard luck to our Metropolitan Cup Team

(managed by Paul O’Donoghue and Jim Kenny) playing Royal Dublin today Sunday 14th.  With four singles matches at home and five away it was always going to be difficult.  Conditions in Royal Dublin were extremely difficult and home advantage proved too much to overcome in the end.  Despite winning three in Skerries we went down 6 : 3.
