2010 Munster Secondary Schools Competition

The 2010 Munster Secondary Schools Competition takes place on Wednesday, October 13th, in Fermoy. .


Two local schools will be represented: St.Augustine's College and Dungarvan C.B.S.

Initially four teams were selected to represent Waterford in this competition, but the powers that be, namely the PPUI, have now cut this down to two. As a result, there were some very disappointed players and mentors last week when this news was announced. Nevertheless, I’m sure the boys who have been selected will do their schools and their county proud.

Dungarvan CBS will now be represented by A. Ryan, R. Crotty and C. Morrissey.

St. Augustine’s will be represented by M. Maher, S. Reynolds and R. O’Neill.

Bridget Walsh just loses out in play-off at Seniors Strokeplay Championships

Ladies All-Ireland Seniors Strokeplay Championship 2010

by Myles McMorrow, President PPUI

These championships were held at Lakeside, Co Tipperary, on Saturday last, September 18th.

The Junior section resulted in a tie between Bridget Walsh (Cunnigar) and Nora

Tierney (Prosperous), both of whom carded the same score. The 9 hole play-off

between Nora and Bridget proved to be a close affair with no more than a couple

of shots separating the players over the first seven holes as Nora led all through.

Over holes 8 and 9 Bridget hauled back the lead and they were all square after the

first 9. On the first sudden death hole Nora grabbed the initiative to emerge

victorious. This was a magnificent display of pitch and putt by

Bridget, who must consider herself so unlucky

not to have come away with a major National title.

Congratulations from everyone at the club!!
