Winter League Final

Barbarians: (Barry Gorey, Barbara Furlong, Tommy Coogan & Dora Keane
Versus
Onwards and Upwards: (Gerry Ward, Kevin Ward, John Murphy & Martina Tierney

Well we had the climax of the Winter League last Sunday and what a final it turned out to be - the Barbarians were taking on Onwards and Upwards. The foursomes were shared - 2 points to each team and then the excitement really began. Following the four singles matches the teams were tied at 6 points each. Each team nominated their player to play a nine hole playoff. So it was down to Barbara Furlong for the Barbarians and Gerry Ward for Onwards and Upwards. Both players had chances to win over the nine holes but would you believe it - they finished all square. So now we are down to sudden death and that went to the second tie hole where Gerry Ward for Onwards and Upwards secured the win.

For sheer enjoyment alone there was no looser - thank you to both teams for the sporting manner the game was played in and for the entertainment you gave us - the spectators - we did not want it to end.

Thank you to the competition committee for the efficient way you ran this competition and in particular thank you to the competition secretary Noel Ryan for all his time and efforts over the weeks to ensure the smooth running of same.
