Congratulations to Clonmel Golf Club's Boys’ Fred Daly team, who won the final of the East Munster Region against a highly fancied Cork Golf Club team.

The final score was 3/2 to Clonmel, with Joe Hawkins holing the winning putt on the 19th Hole after coming back from four down at one point in his match.

Carthach Leahy and Kevin Barry were the day’s other winners, while Joe Franklin and Junior Captain Matthew Buckley put up good resistance before going down in their matches.

This is a fantastic achievement for the group, ably led by manager Liam Kennedy, and shows that the work being put in at junior level in the club is really paying dividends.

The All-Ireland series takes place in Warrenpoint, Co Down on Tuesday August 20 and Wednesday August 21. Practice is on Monday August 19.

Best of luck to all involved.
