Since then they have been in two Connacht semi-finals as well as being in zone finals and semi finals. Their second title is the Jack O’Sullivan trophy. A ten member team played in four ball format. Their final opponents were Castlebar played over 2 legs. The 1st leg was played in Tubbercurr­y on Sat 2nd Sep. Tubbercurr­y won 4 of the 5 matches. The 2nd leg was in Castlebar on 9th. Tubbercurr­y needed 2 of the 5 matches to clinch the title.

The 3 following matches were still in progress when Mark Burke and Eoin Gallagher won 4 and 3. Victory to Tubbercurr­y. Results

ANOTHER West Coast Challenge concluded this week with mixed conditions however the feedback from the players was very positive and the course changes were given the thumbs up.

Our Senior’s under Captain Declan McCabe had his Captain’s away trip to Belmullet on Wed/Thur. The Carne course offers a great challenge and all of the seniors enjoyed the golf and thanks to Sean Dwyer for providing the music and not forgetting the contributi­on of our multi-talented seniors.
