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.
Well done to Skerries on a great performance

at the AIG Pierce Purcell Shield qualifying at Bellewstown Golf Club yesterday. Only the top four clubs went through and we were a little off the fourth place score of 363.
Royal Tara went through to the next stage after a good win against Black Bush this morning.
Hard luck to Skerries managed by Michael Goss and Anthony Hand.
The programme, coordinated by Jo Price, consists of lessons from our PGA professional, Bobby Kinsella, plenty of trial-and-error and lots of fun. Hopefully everyone enjoys the golf and their new sport for life.
on Sunday at 3:30. We have three home matches and two away. Team manager, Mary Kenny, notes that both teams got to the latter stages of this competition last year so it should be a great match.
A tight match went the way of Corrstown 2:3. Alistair MacMahon and Pat Kenny got a nice win away but Corrstown had sent a very strong team to Skerries, where they managed to sneak two wins. Stan Pyke and Eddie Ryan’s 3 and 2 win was a positive but overall Corrstown proved too good on the day.
Hard luck to Gerry Lloyd and co-managers.

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.
