Our Irish Mixed Foursomes Team had a tremendous win over a strongly fancied Forrest Little GC side who also had home advantage on Friday evening last.
At home, Angela Reilly and Alan Kirwan proved much too strong for their opponents, winning on the 13th hole. Jodie Coughlan and Richie Wheeler played very well however, were beaten on the 16th hole.

It was away from home that Knightsbrook GC really turned on the style. Although Stella McLoughlin and Alban Lawless were beaten after a brave battle, we levelled the match with a brilliant victory for Mary Higgins and Dicey Murray on the second extra hole.
Our final pairing of Marie Gordon and Anthony Farrelly were one down playing the last but made a miraculous recovery from behind trees to bring the match to extra holes. Just as they had done in the last round against Ashbourne GC, they held their nerve to win on the first extra hole.

This team has great fighting spirit and hopefully it will get us through a few more rounds yet.
Our fourth round tie is against Co. Louth GC on Sunday, June 10th at 3pm and we have home advantage.
P.P. Managers Seamus Lanney & Jodie Coughlan.
