Monday saw the return leg of the Summer Leagues with Rocklodge visiting Lakewood, with 38 shots of an advantage it was a formality for Rocklodge however on the night Lakewood rose to the challenge and with some excellent play from Valerie Leahy, John Ahern, Pat Moore, Frank Riordan, Rick O’Mahony and Mick O’Leary(Best on the night for Lakewood) reduced the deficit but it was too little too late and Rocklodge advanced to the Final. Best wishes to both teams, it was an interesting summer and with the good weather it was enjoyable to all that participated.
Wednesday there was no fourball as the Soccer Club opened their new all weather pitch. There was a great crowd and a mighty buzz in the complex with music, speeches, a various list of activities, some great food and some good craic in the bar. Well done to all concerned for organising a great night and best wishes to the Soccer Club with its new venture.
Saturday the senior pairing of George Bolton and Mary O’Donovan took the nett with 50 points while Pat Conway and P J Curtin were the gross winners. Sunday morning Miriam Casey was in the winners enclosure with 12 up partnered by Bart Millard to beat Pat Moore and Catherine O’Keeffe on the back 3, who had to settle for 2nd nett while Pat Conway was back for the Gross with Noel McCarthy with 8up. While its nice to be in the winners enclosure the main thing is the interaction and range of social intercourse from a discussion on the All Ireland Final, Gardening, Films, Health and whatever is topical while playing a round.
Sunday evening Miriam Casey was back in the winners enclosure with Frank Riordan and Rick O’Mahony scoring 84 in a three – ball competition.
