Tramore win caps week for Munster

Tramore crowned a remarkable week for Munster golf clubs at the AIG Cups and Shields national finals when they claimed the Senior Cup at Carton House.

The success, dethroning defending champions Co Sligo 3-2 in Saturday’s final, gave the province four of the five Golfing Union of Ireland All-Ireland trophies on offer in their annual festival showpiece and a good shout for a clean sweep after Leinster champions Waterford GC took the Jimmy Bruen Shield with a 3½-1½ victory over West Cork’s Lisselan.

None of that will matter to Tramore, though, as they celebrate a first Senior Cup victory since 1992 following an hard-fought final with the men from Rosses Point, just 24 hours after an equally gripping semi-final encounter with Rosslare.
