Fred Daly v Tipperary
Also, our junior golfers The Fred Daly squad will be teeing it against Tipperary GC away next Saturday at 15.00 hrs. Best of luck to the youngsters.
I know you can't all get out to see the Inter club teams play but you can show your support by playing in "The Waltz" teams support competition.
If the trend keeps going it could be a long summer fingers crossed.
Donoughmore Cup Qualifier
80+ entries with the lead qualifier Kevin Jack Pyke on 41 Pts who pipped young Joe Hawkins on 40 Pts. It seems if Jack went out with 14 sweeping brushes, He would probably win the competition. Well done Jack & Joe keep her lit! Everyone else on 32 Pts or better can sleep easy as you have qualified to the last 32. Commiserations to everyone else “Hasta Mañana” as they say in Spain.
Hub win for AJ
Winner of Week 5 of The Hub nine hole was Adrian Johnson on 23 Pts.
