No Joy for Mallow or Cork in Tralee, AIG Cups & Shields Munster Finals

/ corkgolfnews

AIG Senior Cup Munster Finals 2017, Saturday 12th August 2017There was no joy for Cork clubs in Tralee on Saturday as both Cork and Mallow exited at the semi-final stage of the Munster finals.  Mallow were in action in the AIG Senior Cup and for a while it looked like they would beat Limerick in their semi-final.  Paul McCarthy and James Sugrue led from the front and both recorded impressive wins, McCarthy won 3&2 while Sugrue won on the 14th.  Conor Dowling lost match, as did Brian Attridge meaning the result would be decided by Adam Boland’s match with Limerick’s Justin Kehoe.  They were all square on the 15th but Kehoe won the 16th to go one up.  Boland made a huge six foot putt on the 17th to avoid losing and a great birdie on the 18th meant that the match went on to the 19th.  Both players found the fairway on the additional hole and the advantage swung Continue reading →

AIG Senior Cup, Mallow Golf Club, Sunday 25thth June 2017

Brian Attridge in action this morning

Mallow pulled off a great win today in the AIG Senior Cup, defeating Cork on the final hole in the final match.  Brian Attridge won the 16th and 17th to move from one down to one up and he held his advantage on the par three 18th to record a memorable win at home for the North Cork club.

Earlier in the afternoon, Paul McCarthy led out the side against Cork’s John Hickey.  Hickey won the 1st and held onto the lead after the 2nd, but that was the only time that he would be ahead.  McCarthy won the 3rd and 4th to take the lead and although Hickey levelled it twice, McCarthy took the lead back.  He was two up on the 17th tee and although Hickey won that hole, McCarthy halved the 18th to secure the first point for Mallow.  James Sugrue added the second point soon after.  Like the first match, Cork had the early advantage with Ian O’Flynn holding Continue reading →
