Kinsale Golf Club booked their place in the Pierce Purcell Munster finals last week with a dramatic play-off win over Cobh. The area final took place at Lee Valley which was in great condition for the South Munster decider. Kinsale had qualified from the qualifier that they hosted and Cobh came through in the Fermoy venue qualifier. Kinsale’s Bernard O’Keeffe and Diarmuid O’Brien put an early point on the board when they won their match 7/5, beating Cobh’s Donal Feen and Adam Geaney who obviously had an off day.

Lisselan and East Cork through to Bruen Final
By Niall O’Shea
Cobh and Kinsale played host to the Jimmy Bruen Shield area matches over the weekend as the AIG Cups and Shields got underway. The wind blew hard on Saturday and the elevated nature of both courses tested all players. The conditions were not ideal but it provided all teams with a requirement to think their way around the course.
