The Barton Cup team were playing last Saturday against Charlesland with a place in the semi-final of this Leinster competition at stake. We had two matches at home with three matches away at the county Wicklow course.
Paul Conroy and ‘Butch’ O’Connor sealed their match on the 18th hole in Charlesland to give our Barton Cup team the win that puts them into the semi-final.
Earlier, Shane Fortune and Martin Sludds and Adam Jordan and Nicky Murphy had won their matches at home.
Paul Lynch and Liam Sheridan, in their away match, were beaten on the 22nd hole, having been four down at one stage before staging a brilliant comeback.
Eddie Balfe and Patsy Kavanagh put in a great effort before eventually losing their game in Charlesland.
Congratulations to all players on a great performance and also to the management team of Paul Connolly, Murt Mangan and Jason Rackard.
A semi-final against the winners of Woodbrook and Killeen awaits. That potential third Barton Cup just got one step closer.
