Tracey chiped in at the third extra hole that would knock the teeth out of any great golfer. Roll on the first round.
In the first round of the Ladies Inter, one of the fancied players Lauren Pyke Tullamore & Christina Carroll from Seapoint where having a ding dong battle & ended up all Square after 18 but Lauren turned on the style in the second 18 to win by five & four the one you have to watch player Annie Galvin had a walkover from Nancy Stanbridge C Y M C & Linda Flanagan v Noreen Myles Newtown a lead of one shot in Linda’s favour at the turn looked like been a close game but Linda kept her cool to win by 3&2.
On we went to the Quarter Finals, Annie Galvin was first through by means of a walkover from Eileen Nolan from C.Y.M.C. while Annie Galvin’s club mate Deirdre Byrne from Tullamore also got a walkover from Tracey Smith from Lucan.
