All news to do with ladies teams
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.
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 third and final match in Malahide went down to the fifth extra hole with super golf played by both teams. In the end the Skerries pair of Sylvia Alcock and Miley Plunkett held their nerve to secure the vital third win of the tie.
Earlier (much earlier!) Joan O’Brien & Martin Coleman and Noreen Giblin & Peter Kenny had won in Skerries playing some great golf.
This left the three matches in Malahide to decide the tie. Skerries met very strong opposition as we have come to expect from Malahide and the first two matches were lost with Aisling Ryan & Mark O’Donoghue and Bridgeen Kiernan & Paul O’Donoghue giving the home side a good battle.
It was two matches all with Sylvia and Miley’s match suddenly becoming the one to watch. WhatsApp was used to great effect allowing those in Skerries to follow the match blow by blow and delight in a great win in the end – Final result 3:2 to Skerries.
Next up is Beaverstown Golf Club with three matches in Skerries and two away.
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.
