Kinsale Golf Club booked their place in the Pierce Purcell Munster finals last week with a dramatic play-off win over Cobh.

Many would consider the back nine in Waterrock to provide the tougher challenge but the front nine proved decisive as both sides varied between birdie and bogey golf to win, halve and even lose holes.

The course in Douglas was in great condition for the match although heavy rain and strong winds during the first hour of play hampered the golfers. Heading into the back nine the match was very balanced with neither side having a strong advantage in any of the seven matches. Continue reading
