Youthful Tramore finally come of age

TRAMORE won a thrilling Munster Senior Cup Final against Killarney at Dungarvan last night, coming out 3½-1½ in a match which showcased some of the best young golfing talent in the country.

The scoreline did not necessarily reflect the closeness of this match, which went right down to the wire - John Mitchell’s 2 and 1 victory over Simon Gallivan eventually settling matters when they halved the 17th in a match which saw experience triumph over youth.

But it was the young guns on display here who provided the most excitement, with Tramore’s two teenagers, Stephen O’Rourke and Clancy Bowe, displaying the sort of flair which the club hope will ultimately provide All-Ireland glory in Shannon later this month.
