Dungarvan Golf Notes
DUNGARVAN CLAIM FIRST FRED DALY PENNANT Following the success
of our Senior Cup team, our junior golfers added another Munster title to our haul as we claimed the Fred Daly Munster title at Nenagh last Monday. We overcame Ballybunion in the semi – finals and faced
reigning champi-
ons Muskerry in the final. With golf of the highest quality, young Danny Ra- her set the tone in the first match, winning on 14 in an approximate 5 under par. However
the
bogey on 18 to lose his game and the crowd headed for the 20th cheer on Michael. After
to
two near misses on 20 the match came to a decisive end on the third tie hole. Muskerry hit a brilliant approach to 6 feet on the par 5 setting up an eagle chance, but Michael was undaunted as he ripped a 6 iron to 18 feet to set up his own eagle chance. With coolness personified, Mi- chael drilled his uphill, left to right putt into the back of the cup for a brilliant eagle and put the pressure back on Muskerry, which they couldn’t match to leave us as worthy Munster champions. Amid joyous scenes,
other
four players were involved in tough encounters. Jake O’Riordan was 2 down early but showed his class, coming home in 3 under par to claim another win. But we needed another point to claim victory and our three guys were down in their games. But we are made of tough stuff and despite our tender years we have lots of experience in Junior
golf and our
players started to rally. Mi- chael Troy eagled the 12th hole to get back to 1 down. Both Barry Morrissey and Ethan Raher birdied 12 to get to 1 down in their games. As the excitement unfolded,
Michael Troy
took matters into his own hands hitting class shots on every hole to arrive on the 18th
with a 1 up advantage.
Unfortunately, Michael made an untimely bogey to send his game down 19. Barry fell on the 17th but Ethan was level going up 18. With
tremendous
support on the sidelines, Michael made an easy par on 19 and headed down the 20th
the same time Ethan made . Unfortunately, at Raher and Paul
managers Gerry O’Ri-
ordan graciously accepted the Munster pennant. This victory was the culmina- tion of 10 years work in Junior Golf and we won with style and brilliant golf. We now look forward to the Irish finals at Tramore on Sat. 29th
Congrats to all
September. involved
and we anticipate fantastic support at Tramore as we represent
Munster. Our
squad of Danny Raher, Eoin Power, Jake O’Ri- ordan, Barry Morrissey, Sean O’Sullivan, Michael Troy and Ethan Raher can be justifiably proud of their achievements and have Munster Medals to prove it. Indeed Jake and Danny now have two Munster Medals at
teams taking to the course. Much needed funds were raised to help support or teams as they prepare for the Irish finals.

Finally in a time when are
just
badly spelt words that the modern golfer constantly ignores, it was refreshing to see a wonderful case of sportsmanship last week. David Rees was playing against our Vice Cap- tain David Shanley in the club singles. Having been 4 up at the turn, David Rees was 1 down play- ing the last. As usual the Vice-Captain
despatched
a bomber straight up the final fairway. Unfortunate- ly, the lads couldn’t find the ball despite both play- ers agreeing that the ball was in the middle of the fairway. The Vice Captain headed
for tieholes but
David Rees decided that the
fairest result was to
concede the match to the Vice Captain. True sports- manship.
