Greystones defeat Woodenbridge

Our Leinster Senior Men’s Interclub team took on Woodenbridge on Friday afternoon. This competition is a fourball matchplay event with two matches at home and away.

At home Dermot Barry and Conor Lucey were first up followed by Neil Lawless and Paul Creedon. In both matches Woodenbridge took early leads but Greystones recovered to lead at the turn.

Meanwhile in Woodenbridge Michael Whelan and Macdara Cummins lead the way followed by Andy Nolan and Dermot Whiston. Michael and Macdara were involved ina tight affair, after 9 holes they were 2 down but still well in the game.  Andrew and Dermot were involved in a very up and down match where no holes were halved on the front nine and had developed a 3 hole lead. The lads kept their foot on the gas and despite Woodenbridge winning two holes late on Greystones closed the deal on 16. At home Dermot Barry and Conor Lucey won 10 & 11 to go 3 up. After this a few holes were swapped to and fro and Greystones picked up another point on 17.

In Woodenbridge Michael and Macdara were level through 17 holes. Macdara then played 3 beautiful shots to 18 to close out the match.

Neil and Paul at home swapped holes over the back nine and were still one up through 16 holes when the match was called in.

Overall result was 3.5 to 0.5.

Congratulations to Trevor Phillips and Stephen O’Brien and their team.
