Gort And Claremorris Golf Clubs Celebrate National Double In Athlone

It was a memorable weekend for Connacht golf at Athlone Golf Club as Claremorris and Gort claimed their first AIG Pierce Purcell Shield and Women’s Intermediate Foursomes Championships respectively.

Gort claimed victory in the Women’s Intermediate Foursomes.

Having eased past Monkstown 3.5–0.5 in Friday’s semi-final, they maintained that form against Munster West champions, Ballyneety in the final.

Petra O’Connor and Sinead Collins set the tone with a 6&5 win, before Joan Fogarty and Sara Broderick quickly doubled the advantage by taking their match 7&5.

Jane Joyce and Geraldine Connors then secured the half point needed, shaking hands on the 14th green to confirm victory and a first AIG Women’s Intermediate Foursomes title for the Galway club.

“We weren’t expecting to get this far but it’s absolutely fantastic for our team,” said Gort team captain Hannah McInerney.

“We’re just thrilled and very proud of this team. They put a lot of teamwork and dedication into it.”

“We have some very seasoned golfers that would be used to match play and then we have a few golfers that are new to golf. One of the women in our first match is two years playing golf so a nice mix.”

Team Captain Hannah McInerney spoke to John Mulligan on Saturday Sport.
