Under 15’s defeat Wicklow

Our Boys under 15 team under the management of George O’Brien were taking on Wicklow GC in the second round at home on Monday evening.

Our team was Ruadhan Murray, Conor Dignam and John O’Boyle.

Ruadhan got off to a flying start and was three up after three holes and despite his opponent pulling two holes back on 5 & 6 Ruadhan quickly reestablished his three up lead after nine holes.

Conor found himself two down after 2 holes but quickly recovered to be level after 4. Despite losing the 6th Conor was one up heading down the lane.

John like Ruadhan also got off to a quick start and was 2 up after 4 holes. John swapped a couple of holes with his opponent and was still 2 up at the turn.

John quickly added 4 wins in a row on the back nine and won 6 & 5. One nil to Greystones.

In similar fashion Conor won 4 of the first 5 holes on the back nine to secure the second point 5 & 4.

Ruadhan won the 10th to go 4 up. His Wicklow opponent the 12th,13th and 14th to close the gap to one hole. Ruadhan then showed great maturity to win 16 & 17 to win his match 3 & 1 and give Greystones a 3-0 win.

Congratulations to George and his team on a convincing win. The next round will be against Castle GC or Blainroe and will have to be played by 18th August.
