Sensational Sligo reclaim honours with dramatic win

The AIG Senior Cup returned to Rosses Point on Saturday night as Co Sligo reclaimed Irish club golf’s blue riband title with a dramatic final victory over Leinster’s Castle at Carton House.

The contest was a fitting end to a great week’s golf at the Golfing Union of Ireland’s AIG Cups and Shields national finals, behind held at the Kildare venue for the third year in succession and Co Sligo’s Senior Cup victory ensured a green pennant went to each of the four provinces.

Warrenpoint had taken the Barton Shield back to Ulster, Nenagh won the Pierce Purcell Shield for Munster, while Castle had set up the chance of an historic double when they started the week with a first national Junior Cup success.
