Greystones Ladies come up trumps in Delgany

Another day another match for Greystones.  After a great day for the men’s teams yesterday, it was the turn of the Ladies who played Delgany in the first round of  their Revive Active campaign.

Hayley Mulcahy & Sandra Cotter got the Greystones team off to a flying start, winning the first match out 4&3 at home.  It would have been a mistake however to take this result as an indication of how all the matches might finish.  Delgany leveled the tie as Mary Hutch and Nicky Brooks just came up short 3&1 after a very strong fight back away from home.  Quickly after that however Jacinta Dean & Áine O’Rourke who like Hayley & Sandra were playing at home,  restored the Greystones lead, winning on the 18th.  There were two matches remaining on the course in Delgany; Mary Lockhart & Regina Barry were 1 down and Marguerite Hamill who was paired with Orla Delaney held a slender lead so it was all to play for.  In the end both final pairings won on the 18th giving Greystones a 4 – 1 win, a great achievement with three matches away on a tricky away course.

Congratulations to all involved.
