ANOTHER SUPERB PERFORMANCE FROM GARY HURLEY This week saw Gary on
the European Tour as he was playing in the Rocco Forte Open in Verdura, Sicily. And without doubt he must be very happy with his perfor- mance as he carded rounds of 67, 66, 72 and 73 seeing him finish on 6 under par for the event in tied 23rd
place.
This finish sees him receive a nice paycheque of €10,550. This follows on from his strong performance in Por- tugal the week previous. Well done Gary from your army of supporters in West Wa- terford.

JIMMY BRUEN SHIELD To date, our Bruen team
have recorded victories over Youghal, Faithlegg, Wil- liamstown and Gold Coast en route to the area final at Carrick on Suir on Thursday 25th
May. Stephen Spillane’s
team know they will face a thorough examination against a fancied Clonmel outfit. Throughout the com- petition all 18 panelists will have seen action and Ste- phen has plenty to ponder in selecting his team on Thurs- day. Nothing has been left to chance in preparing for the challenge and if our team can repeat the form shown in previous rounds a victory is well within our reach. Sup- porters would be most wel- come so please come along on Thursday and cheer our boys to victory. Best of luck from all at West Waterford.
PIERCE PURCELL SHIELD In yet another local der-
by we face neighbours Gold Coast in the first round of the East Munster section at Youghal Golf Club on Saturday
27th May. With place heading into the
weekend. He was only three shots outside the top 10. On Saturday he carded a 2 over 72 bringing him back to level par and on Sunday he had a another 2 over 72 seeing him finish on 2 over par for the event. Seamus is considered to be one of the most pow- erful hitters and best scram- blers on tour this year and he has made 10 of 15 cuts to lie 143rd
in the FedEx Cup rank-
ings. Well done Seamus from everyone in West Waterford.

TOURNAMENT On Friday 19th
May we
took on neighbours Dun- garvan in the home leg of the County final. As the first pairs stood on the first tee at 3.45 weather conditions were far from perfect but thankfully conditions im- proved through the evening. After 9 holes we held a slight advantage overall but as we well know, the back 9 at West Waterford have proven to be decisive on many occasions. Both sides were playing good golf as the result lay in the balance throughout the back

9. With three matches won the question was if we could win a fourth and carry a 4-1advantage to Dungarvan for the second leg. We would witness a dramatic finish as the final match on course ended all square on the 18th
.
Both pairs found the trees on the 19th
but our boys won out
with a par. Our team was Pat Murphy and Phil Kin- sella, Des Cleary and Fintan Gee, Michael Lawlor and Padraig Breathnach, Jimmy Murphy and John McCa- rthy, Tom Butler and John Keane. Team manager Sean Wade. Well done to all and thank you to the Dungarvan team for a sporting contest. The date for the away leg has yet to be finalized.
BELVEDERE TROPHY Edward Hickey brought
his Belvedere team to Dun- garvan on Thursday 18th May with a 3-2 advantage from the home leg. The an- ticipated backlash awaited and we were in no doubt as to the enormity of the chal- lenge. Both teams went out with a strong first pairing and after a mighty scare we were fortunate to get a half. Having lost the sec- ond match our manager left the outstanding pairs in no doubt as to what was re- quired. A win in match 3 left the tie all square on the day and was followed by a win in match 4 to seal the victory. The remaining match was called in for a half. A 3-2 victory on the day with an overall result of 7-3 over the two legs. Our team on the day was Michael Landers and Noel Landers, Tomas Curran and Noel Murray, Fintan Gee and Michael Lawlor, Pat Power and Terry O’Callaghan, Percy Walsh and Pa McCarthy. Manager Edward Hickey. Well done to all. Our next match will be against Dunmore
East
with the first leg at the away venue.
