McGrath wins Munster Championship

Macroom’s Bernie McGrath won the Munster Women’s Senior Championship in Shannon last week.  McGrath scored 42 points to finish two clear of the field.  The 16 handicapper went out with 22 points, thanks in part to two four pointers on the 4th and 5th holes.  McGrath had another two 4 pointers on the back nine that helped her to a back nine score of 20 points.  She had just two one pointers in the 18 holes which help her to the winning score.  Sylvie Kenneally from Kinsale was second on 40 points and Shannon’s Jean Murphy was third with 38 points.  Rose Beamish from Fota Island took the over 65 prize with 37 points.
