U 15 Connacht Inter Club Championship 2010
The annual Connacht Under 15 Inter Club Championship took place on Friday July 2 at a windswept and rainy Westport where the gale force gusts proved too much for many of the young competitors.
The red hot favourites were undoubtly Co. Sligo (pictured receiving the 2010 Pennant) who dominate this event each year and were the side to beat with Players like Sean Flanagan (4), David Brady (6), to lead them.
Flanagan had a day to forget posting a +12, 85 but 13yr old Brady played solid patient golf in a best Gross of the day +7, 80 to drive Co. Sligo to their third consecutive U15 crown.
The real suprise of the day was Carrick-on-Shannon's second placing ahead of more fancied and much lower handicap sides like Galway, Athlone and Westport.
Back (L-R): Ben Rooney, David Brady, Sean Flanagan, T. J. Ford & Luke Armstrong;
Seated (L-R): Todd O'Reilly (Associate Professional, Westport G.C.), Jim McGovern (Hon. Secretary, Connacht GUI), Eoin Armstrong (Team Capt., Co. Sligo) & Tom Walsh (Vice Capt., Westport G.C.).
