Monkstown banish bitter memories at AIG Munster Senior Cup final

Monkstown closed the book on 12 months of heartbreak as they claimed their provincial pennant with victory in the AIG Munster Senior Cup final at Cork Golf Club.

Munster’s Barton Shield representatives at Carton House next month for the AIG All Ireland Cups and Shields finals will also be from the Rebel county after Cork landed the provincial scratch foursomes title at Little Island on Saturday.

Both Cork and Monkstown have claimed national titles before but for the latter, it has been more than 50 years away from the business end of the Senior Cup.
