Killarney or County Louth to capture first junior cup title

KILLARNEY and County Louth are two of the biggest and most respected clubs in the country. Both have produced some great players and characters but surprisingly neither has yet captured the Bulmers Irish Junior Cup.

That situation will change today when two teams, boasting a delightful blend of youth and experience, clash in the final at Galway Golf Club.

Neither side had it all their own way in yesterday’s semi-finals, although Co Louth emerged from their clash with Malone without losing a match. They claimed the first three as Ronan Branigan came out on top at the 16th against Maurice Bell before David Doggett and Shane Gannon got through on the final green.
