Killarney Golf Club team tees up to be crowned Munster champions
T
THE Killarney Golf Club ladies senior cup team were crowned Munster champions on Sunday in a series of thrilling encounters at the weekend.
The team met Muskerry Golf Club on Saturday, in the quarterfinal of the competition. They beat Muskerry well and went on to meet a much-fancied Douglas Golf Club on Sunday morning in the semi-final. This match turned out to be a tight encounter with great golf being played by both Killarney and Douglas. However, it was Mairead Martin's birdie putt on the 19th that clinched the match for Killarney and guaranteed their place in the afternoon final against Lahinch GC.
The match against a very strong Lahinch side was an epic encounter. To add to the excitement of the game Valerie Clancy, Killarney, scored a hole-in-one on the seventh. The final result came down to the wire with Valerie Clancy winning on 17, followed by Mairead Martin on 18. Kelly Brotherton was one up going down the 18th. She hit a tremendous drive down 18, chipped on and parred with two putts. Brotherton then halved the hole with Áine Donegan from Lahinch, thus ensuring a Killarney victory.
The senior cup team is managed by Mary Geaney and the players include Lady Captain Amy Arthur, Kelly Brotherton, Valerie Clancy, Claire Keating, Mairead Martin, Anne Moynihan-Rudden, Eimear O'Donnell and Mary Sheehy. The Killarney team now qualify for the All-Ireland final to be held in the Royal Curragh Golf Course on the weekend of August 25.
