Disappointment for Cahir Park who represented Tipperary with pride in All-Ireland final

On Wednesday morning, the Men's Pierce Purcell Team, Subs and Managers,  John Morrissey and Tom Hickey, were on the road before dawn and heading up the M8/M50 to Knightsbrook Golf Club near Trim, Co Meath for practice matches from 10am.  

On Thursday, at 11.05 am, the All-Ireland Semi-Finals got underway with Cahir Park playing Ballinrobe G.C..  After some tough matches, Cahir Park Men were the happy group after a tense final match on the 19th Hole saw victory go to Cahir Park 3/2 and the reward of the All-Ireland Final on Friday opposite Spanish Point G.C. who qualified for the Final following their semi-final match v Strabane. 

The predicted Yellow Rain Warning for Friday became reality very fast, and the Pierce Purcell Teams played intense golf in very difficult conditions.  The Matches concluded again with a group going down the 19th, but this time Spanish Point were the victors, 3/2 the Final result. 

The Cahir Park Team members: Donal Mullane, John Ryan, John Molloy, John Cashman, Barry Moloney,  Declan Lonergan,  Willie Morrissey. John McGrath, Seamus Moran, Conal O'Reilly, Don Quill and Jim Davis were all presented with Silver Medals.  Team Manager John Morrissey said "the players were brilliant all year, you could not ask for more from them, they went above and beyond" for the Club.

Congratulations to each member of the Pierce Purcell Panel and to the Managers for the wonderful success of playing in the All-Ireland Final.
