PIERCE PURCELL COMPEITION
Goldcoast played Tramore at home on Saturday last in this competition where our team put up a great performance, just coming up short on the day. We thank the Management team of Alan Darcy and Micheal Kavanagh and the team and panel for all their hard work over the last few weeks. We wish Tramore well in the next round.

This competition took place also last Saturday here at the Gold Coast when we played Williamstown Golf Club in a sporting game. Once again, the panel put on a great display of golf coming out on top and claiming victory and progressing to the next round. Under the management of John Hallinan and Aisling Fennell the team was as follows Micheal Kavanagh and Katie Kiely, John White and Briget Walsh, Royco Ware and Karen Darcy, Darren Williams and Martina Corkery. Reserves John Hallinan and Gillian Cashman. Best of luck to all in the next round

As the dark clouds rolled in with every clap of thunder the Gold Coast team claimed victory with a 3/2 win and march on to meet Dungarvan at home in a few weeks. Under the watchful eye of Bob O’Brien and Liam Clancy the panel on the day was as follows Micheal Kavanagh and Tony Fitzgerald, John White and John Hallinan, Colin McArthur and David (Doc) O’Connor, Tommy Long and Dave O’Connor, Lar Whealan and Kieran Cullinan.
