OPEN 3-BALL FINAL
The final of the Open 3-Ball which has been running over the winter and spring is top of the agenda for the weekend. The first match is scheduled for 8.30 on Saturday morning with the last teeing off at 11.30 am. The competition is sponsored by Michael Horan of Golf Shop Ltd. and Callaway. Markers are needed for that morning. Please contact Francie Horan.
The very popular Mixed Scramble sponsored by John and Mary Grennan will be the main item on Sunday. There will be a shot gun start at 4.30 pm on Sunday with entries taken from 3.45. No doubt the later start will prove popular with the members and a large turn out can be expected.
On Friday the Lorrha GAA Classic takes place with Michael Liffey in charge of entries. Michael can be contacted at 087 257 8370.

INTER CLUB
One of the busiest weekends of the year saw The Glenns fielding four teams. The O’Moore team under managers Brian Guinan and Joe Hynes saw off Athenry by 4 and 3. Christy McGarry and Dick Quinn had easy wins at home while Seamas Coakley and Eamon Moore triumphed in Athenry. Tom King, Pat Scully and Thady Clancy didn’t have the best of luck. The next match is against Moate.
The Diageo Mixed managed by Presidents David and Doreen saw off a powerful Carlow team also by 4 and 3. Playing at home were Seamas Breen/Aileen Watkins,(won) Jerome Molloy/Frances Ashe and Bernard McGurk/Ena Guilfoyle (won). Playing n Carlow were Marie Tooher/Joe Slevin (won), Captain/Lady Captain, Roger Byrne/Aileen Watkins (won) and Mary Grennan/John Irwin. The team has now reached the semi-final and will meet Mount Temple in the next round. With the scalps of Kilkenny and Carlow already in their bags this team must feel confident going into the next round.
Our Jimmy Bruen team under managers Roger Byrne and Derek Ryan were out of luck in the qualifying round in Castle Barna. Representing the club were: Jonathan Kelly/Brendan Hoare, Pat Madden /John Murphy, Fergus Garland/Tony McCormack, Tommy Hogan/Laurence Smith and PJ Lowry/John Connell.
The Pierce Purcell were out of luck at the Heath.
Best of luck to our Juniors this week who represent the Club in the Junior Foursomes at Mullingar. Players are:Eric Byrne Ronan Murphy Sean Stone and Conor Stone.
On Saturday next a strong Barton Shield team under manager Billy Donlon will play in the qualifying round in Kilkenny. Players are: Michael Horan/Declan Gath and Billy McGarry/Seamas Breen. Best of luck to all.
