Kinsale tyro John Murphy earns another Ireland call-up

The Golfing Union of Ireland has announced their selection to compete at the annual Fairhaven Trophy this weekend and not for the first time in the past couple of years, a young golfer from Kinsale GC was on the teamsheet.

John Murphy received his call over the weekend to make up a team of four to mix it with the best young players from across Great Britain in a top-class field of 144 — including 24 girls — gathering at the Lancashire links for this prestigious 72-hole stroke play tournament.

Also on the Ireland team will be Waterford Castle’s Andrew Mulhall, Jordan Logue of Hilton Templepatrick, and Bushfoot’s Owen Crooks, the only one of the quartet returning to Fairhaven having competed last year.
