CARTON CUP
Our girls took to the fairways in brilliant sunshine to take on the East Cork ladies in the second leg of the matchplay. It was shot for shot with all pairings throughout the 9 holes with two matches in the bag for the home team and two more all square to the 9th green.
It was a tremendous battle to the end and our ladies did not give in easily, but had to succumb to a stronger side. Congratulations to East Cork and wishing them the very best of luck in the tournament.
Well done to our ladies who gave a sparkling performance and should be very proud of their efforts!!
Thanks a mill to our wonderful caddies who kept the ladies calm and focused and to Breda V and Anne for great management. To our wonderful supporters who walked every fairway today to encourage our team, a big Thank You!!!
