Justice for Skerries and glory for Gort
And it was glory time, too, for Gort who fought a mighty battle with Royal Tara before clinching the Pierce Purcell Shield at the second tie hole in the decisive match.
Justice, who now plays off a handicap of 3 having won the Skerries monthly medal last weekend with a gross 69, came into the match with form very much on his side. He had to produce some great golf to get the better of a doughty opponent in the former Waterford footballer Billy Hewitt and didn't finally get through until his opponent made a ghastly error on the 18th.
