Spanish Point seek Munster double

Two years ago, the little nine-hole Spanish Point links in West Clare didn’t have a pennant of any kind.

However, after back-to-back wins in the Munster Towns Cup and victory in the Munster and All-Ireland Pierce Purcell Shields in 2013, they now have four to adorn the clubhouse walls. Now they have now set their sights on a Munster double in the Pierce Purcell and Jimmy Bruen Shields when the provincial finals take place at Faithlegg, Waterford, next weekend.

Having already emerged from the North Munster section, Spanish Point continue their defence of the Purcell Shield against Killarney in Saturday’s semi-final while on Sunday the Bruen Shield panel face a semi-final encounter with West Cork club Lisselan.
