Bruen glory for ‘nine-hole club on the side of the road’
Defeat on that occasion only spurred them on to greater things which they duly accomplished in a welter of excitement at Faithlegg yesterday when they defeated Tralee in the Munster final of the Jimmy Bruen Shield, They now go on to the All-Ireland finals to be played at Carton House in September.
A superb weekend of golf at the lovely Co. Waterford venue also ended in success for another nine-hole club, Spanish Point from West Clare, who retained the Pierce Purcell Shield — although they went down in yesterday’s semi-final of the Bruen Shield against Lisselan.
