Battle of the Boyne – great result for our ladies

Congratulations to Margaret McGirr and her team who today dispatched Druid’s Heath in the first round of the Boyne Trophy competition.

Margaret’s team took full advantage of their home draw.

First out were Marguirete Hamill & Nicky Brooks who went into a flying lead and found themselves five up through ten holes.

Despite loosing the first hole, our second pair of  Mary Hutch & Geraldine Nelson took full control of their match from the fourth and closed out on the fourteenth,  6&4.  Meanwhile our third home pair of Jenny Moore & Lisa Croke turned two up after nine and kept in control to win on the sixteenth by a margin of 4&2.

The key match turned out to Marguirete & Nicky’s who had to face a very tough fightback from their opposition.  They lost four in a row from the twelfth to find themselves just one up but a resilient win on the sixteenth stopped the leakage and despite loosing the seventeenth their half on the eighteenth was sufficient to win their match 1 up and secure the tie for Greystones.

Away from home, both Greystones pairs, Trish Shiel & Liz-Anne Woollam and Trudy Bolton & Aine O’Rourke were two down when called in. Trish & Liz-Anne were on the fifteenth and Trudy & Aine were playing the thirteenth.

Congratulations to all involved.
