BALLYKISTEEN
Inter Club: Last week we had two of our teams representing Ballykisteen. First up was our Fred Perry team who traveled to Limerick GC last Thursday to take on the home team. This proved to be a real nail biter with two matches being decided on the 19th and in the end Ballykisteen pulled off a famous win on a score of 3 -2. Congratulations to the team and managers on such a fantastic performance. 
Next up was our Junior Cup team who took on Roscrea GC in Ballykisteen last Saturday. Again this was a very close game and despite our lads playing so good golf we just came up short on a score of 3 - 2. 
Again we would like to thank the team and managers for their great efforts.
