Another success for Cunnigar Scramble Team

Following their 2^nd place at the National Scramble Competition earlier this Summer, the team of Paddy Noonan, Paul Healy and John Charles took part in the Corkbeg Scramble in Whitegate, Cork last Saturday, July 9^th. They carded a magnificent 13 under par in their opening round which was more than enough to see off all other competitors and secure first place for this Cunnigar team. Well done lads!

Congratulations to Paul Healy, Paddy Noonan and John Charles (Cunnigar “A”), who were runners-up at the National Scramble Final which was held in Co. Offaly last weekend, May 7th and 8th. Played over 2 courses, Tullamore and Erry (Clara), this was a fantastic achievement by the team, who were playing in a National final for the first time.

Seventy two teams, from all over Ireland, qualified to play in this competition. Cunnigar Pitch and Putt Club was well represented, 3 teams having qualified.  After 2 rounds on Saturday, the field was whittled down to the top 36 teams, who qualified to play on Sunday. At this stage, Cunnigar “A” were way back in 22^nd place. After 2 rounds on Sunday morning, Cunnigar “A” posted a fabulous score which catapulted them into joint 3^rd place. With the competition now narrowed down to the top 18 teams, who had to play in the final round on Sunday afternoon in Tullamore, Cunnigar still had the 3 teams challenging for the top honours. Glorious sunshine coupled with a strong swirling wind greeted the competitors as they faced the final 18 holes. When play ended, Cunnigar “A” had improved their position once again and had achieved 2^nd place. When all the scores were finalised, Cunnigar’s 3 teams were in the top ten. This was an astounding achievement for our club and congratulations to our 3 teams who represented our club with distinction.

Cunnigar Team Achieve Fantastic Victory At National Scramble in Douglas!!

!!

Terence making his victory speech.

Terence Moroney, Chris Wall and Daniel Keoghan, (Cunnigar B), were crowned National Scramble Champions after a fantastic victory in Douglas, Cork on Sunday 9th May. Having trailed by 1 1/2 shots after Saturdays play, they all produced outstanding displays on a sun-drenched course on Sunday to seal a commanding victory by a huge 4 shot margin over their nearest rivals, Deerpark D. This was a wonderful victory for these three young inexperienced players against the best players in the country.

Martin Hayes, Aiden O’Rourke and Keith Power, (Cunnigar A), were leading after Saturdays play and were in contention until the very last round. Well done to both teams and congratulations to our new National Champions
