All-Ireland Semi-Final Awaits Our Pierce Purcell Team
Congratulations to Managers John Morrissey and Tom Hickey and the players of our Men’s Pierce Purcell Team, who defeated Tralee Golf Club 2.5/1.5 in Gort Golf Club on Sunday.
Team Members:
– Seamus Moran & Conal O’Reilly
– Declan Lonergan & Thomas Walsh
– Willie Morrissey & John Mitchell
– Donal Mulcahy & John McGrath
After 9 holes, the Cahir team were in a very strong position, leading in each match. By the 13th hole, Tralee had started to rally, but Cahir still looked to be in control overall. By the time the last match reached the 15th hole, Tralee had turned the match on its head and seemed to be pressing for the win. At 1-1, with the remaining two matches in the balance, it looked like our team would need a playoff hole to secure victory.
Thankfully, some stunning golf over the last two holes helped the Cahir Park side clinch the result without the need for a playoff.
Thanks to Tralee for an incredible match, and to Gort Golf Club for hosting today’s matches.
Our team now marches on to the All-Ireland Semi-Final in Gort on Friday, 13th September, against Tulfarris Golf Club.
