Walker Cup players withdrawn from interprovincial series

NEWLY selected Walker Cup players Colm Moriarty (Athlone) and Noel Fox (Portmarnock) have been withdrawn from the Mens Interprovincial series which gets underway at Ballybunion this morning.

The pair were to lead Connacht and Leinster respectively but the Walker Cup bosses requested them to omit Ballybunion from their schedule as to attend a training session with the rest of the Great Britain and Ireland squad in England tomorrow.

Into their places come Michael McHugh of Ballinasloe and Alan Dowling of Hermitage.
