Saturday to quote Mary O’Donovan “treacherous conditions” prevailed but that didn’t deter the bravehearts or lunatics that showed up and played nor did it hinder Mary who was in superb form and who was partnered with John Ahern from winning the Nett in a V Par Strokeplay competition with an excellent score of 41.5 .The inform P J Curtin took the gross with Paddy Dennehy with one under to keep his winning streak at 5 in a row. The strong wind and the heavy downpour of rain made playing very difficult and the scoring under the circumstances was very good. Its rumoured that Mary is holding trials for a partner in the mixed foursomes for 2018 and the feedback was that she was very impressed with John Ahern which means that John Dineen will have to up his game to be in with a chance.
Sunday morning saw some familiar faces returning after the Summer Break including the Murphy’s Mary and Tim. Tim played some excellent Pitch and Putt but the scoring was very high which saw PJ add another notch to his tally taking the Nett with Val O’Leary also making a comeback beating Betty White and Mary O’Donovan on the back nine, 8 up to 7 up while John Ahern took the Gross with Eileen Murphy with 7 under. Sunday Afternoon Pat O’Keeffe and P J Curtin took the Nett with 7 under to Nett at 40. while John Dineen and Frank Riordan won the Gross with 6 under.
