Castlemartyr Links was covered in a welcome sunshine yesterday as the Ron Kirby designed links played host for the Munster finals of the Irish Schools Senior Championships.  Castlemartyr was a late replacement venue as the original venue was deemed unplayable due to the recent adverse weather.  The inland links provided a fair challenge for the 20 golfers, mostly single figure handicappers who relished the tight fairways and fast greens.

The Munster finals of the Irish Schools Senior Championships take place on Monday next in Castlemartyr Links.  The finals were originally scheduled for the Ring of Kerry, but the event was moved to Castlemartyr owing to weather concerns and the running inland links layout should provide a fine test for the four schools involved.

Colaiste an Spioraid Naoimh and Patrician Academy carry Cork hopes, Spioraid Naoimh face Crescent College Limerick in their semi-final, and Patrician Academy face De la Salle Waterford.  The semi-finals start at 9.00am and the final takes place after lunch.
