Jack Egan and Edward Walsh helped Munster to their first Under 16 Interprovincial title. Munster were in second place after the opening two matches yesterday, and under the watchful eyes of Kevin Murray, John Fennessy and Fred Twomey, the team played very well in their final game against Connacht and overcame a half point deficit.
Muskerry’s Jack Egan was the hero of the hour, he was one down playing 18, and a loss would have meant that Connacht would win on a countback. Egan duly obliged, he won the hole to half his match and that ensured that Munster won the match and ultimately the title.

Egan finished the three matches with a win and two halves, in his one foursomes and two singles matches. Mallow’s Ed Walsh lost his opening foursomes match but captured two valuable points for Munster in the singles matches against Leinster and Connacht.
The Under 18 team did as much as they could in the final day, they had a good 6-4 win over Connacht. But unfortunately for Michael Coote’s team, Ulster retained their lead by beating Leinster in their final match. There were some Continue reading
Mallow’s Edward Walsh
Mallow’s Edward Walsh and Muskerry’s Jack Egan have made the six-man Munster Under 16 team. The team was named today by Munster Junior Convenor Kevin Murray and features the two talented Cork Golfers. Both golfers had impressive results in 2015, Egan won the Munster Under 14 Close in East Cork and Walsh won the Under 15 category at the Munster Boys Under 16 in Clonmel.
Walsh is Mallow’s third player to make the inter-pro teams. Greg Barrett was named on the Under 18 (boys) team at the start of last week and Ronan Feerick was called up to the Under 14 team on Friday. The Boys interprovincials take place in Tullamore this week.

Mitchelstown’s Adam Boland shot a final round 73 to claim fourth spot in the Irish Under 16 Boys which was held at The Heath.
Boland’s third round was an other improvement on his previous round, beating his second round score by a shot. Although a win was unlikely, Boland was unlucky to drop three shots on the run in, otherwise he could have claimed the runners-up spot. Despite that, Boland still added four birdies in the high-pressure final round. Mallow’s Ed Walsh had a tough start to the final round, he was eight over after nine holes and 10 over after 11 hole in a very uncharacteristic round. He steadied himself on the way hole and parred the final seven holes, he finished in 34th position was the only other Cork golfer to make the cut.
Mitchelstown’s Adam Boland and Mallow’s Ed Walsh have both made the cut in the Irish Boys Under 16 Open Championship at The Heath Golf Club. Walsh and Boland were the only two Cork golfers to be named on the Munster Under 16 team and their good run of form has continued.
Mallow’s Edward Walsh
Boland is currently in 6th place just three strokes off the lead and has a great chance of pushing on tomorrow. Walsh is just outside the top twenty but is 7 shots off the lead to a win is a big ask for the Mallow golfer.
