Coughlan wants East Cork to build on double

Not content with an All-Ireland double title success, East Cork Golf Club lady president Catherine Coughlan has thrown down the gauntlet to the rest of the membership in the hunt for national recognition.

East Cork GC is busy celebrating Junior Cup and Challenge Cup victories in the Private Home Care Ladies Interclub Championships at Mullingar Golf Club last weekend.

The Challenge Cup, for handicappers between 30 and 36, saw manager Carmel Moloney’s side score a 4-1 victory in the final over East Leinster champions Newlands, while the final of the Junior Cup, for 8-15 handicappers, was won in even more convincing style, Jean Guilfoyle’s team winning 5-0 over another East Leinster pennant holder in Dun Laoghaire.
