Cillian Moloney
Fota Island cased an upset this evening when they beat Munster finalists Kinsale in the Fred Trophy area semi final.

Fota Island started strongly with Cillian Moloney beating John Murphy 6&5. Kinsale’s Mark Healy balanced the match when he won his match against Josh Hogan on the 16th. The 14th green proved crucial as Davis Howard won a second point for Fota, winning 5&4. Things were looking good for Fota at that stage, Garan Manley was losing to Daniel O’Flaherty but Fota’sRonan O’Connell was in the lead in his match and it was O’Connell who closed out his match first. He won 5&4 on the 14th meaning the final match was called in.
Fota Island will now go on to play Munster champions Mallow in the South Munster final.

Fred Daly first round matches start today
Interest in junior golf is building up as this weekend the first round of the Fred Daly Trophy takes place. Cork, Monkstown, Douglas and Muskerry will all host the matches as Ireland’s premier junior golf competition gets underway. This year the competition format has changed.
The GUI Annual General Meeting voted to reduce the number of players from seven to five. Seven first round matches take place on Saturday and Sunday. Munster holders Mallow are in action in Monkstown on Sunday, where they will face Mahon. Kinsale were Munster finalists in 2015 and they will face Douglas on Sunday. That is without doubt the most interesting match of the first round. Both clubs were also paired early on in the competition last year and Kinsale won only after the match went to playoff holes. Kinsale went on to contest the Munster Final while Douglas won the Fred Daly Plate.
