Douglas make amends as Edenmore secure double

THERE was delight for Douglas, Castletroy and Edenmore at the AA Insurance Ladies Golf Championships in Royal Tara on Saturday.

Senior foursomes winners Douglas were on a mission of atonement after losing out at the semi-final stage last year to eventual winners Co Louth. However they wore the mantle of favouritism lightly in the decider against Co Antrim’s Ballycastle.

Conceding shots in all matches Douglas were well prepared and experienced enough to focus on the task in hand. Young Karen O’Neill and Deirdre O’Hanlon had an impressive start and were 4 up after 9 and went on to win 6&5.
