Manager Elaine had a running commentary on the WhatsApp group, keeping everybody informed from tee to green of the current standings at time of posting!!
The calibre of golf from our girls was such that matches were won on the 13th and 15th respectively and the all square match called in, fantastic result!! Thanks to the members who came to support their team, it was much appreciated. The next leg of the tournament will be on home course against Waterford Castle on a date to be confirmed.
