Irish Ladies Golf Union Press Release

AA INSURANCE IRISH LADIES
FOURSOMES CHAMPIONSHIPS
NORTHERN DISTRICT FINALS
KNOCK GOLF CLUB

Larne and Omagh will play in the All-Ireland Finals of the AA Insurance Senior and Junior Foursomes following victories over Shandon Park and Edenmore respectively in the Northern District Finals at Knock Golf Club today.
Roma English and Carol McMaw set the early pace for Larne when English holed a 20ft downhill putt at the 15th to go two up before closing out Julie Hall and Diane Conway at the 17th.
Jenny Young and Karen Simpson then levelled the tie overall with a 6 and 5 victory over Joyce Robinson and Sarah O’Neill.
The final match saw Gail McNabb and Barbara O’Neill hold on to a one-hole advantage through 14 holes before beating Diane Nickels and Debbie Sweeney on the home green.
Larne now join Wicklow (Midland) in the semi-finals of the AA INSURANCE Senior Foursomes at Athlone Golf Club from September 28 to 30.
In the Junior Foursomes, Omagh looked to have their match with Edenmore sewn up when at one match each overall, Judith Lyons and Patsy Harkin stood five up on the 13th tee.
However, the brave partnership of Stephanie Watson and Sally Cushnahan, undaunted by the challenge, won four consecutive holes to stand just one down on the 17th tee. Two solid pars saw both pairs down the 18th where Omagh’s up and down from 80yd out clinched victory.
Omagh now join Enniscorthy (Midland) in the semi-finals of the AA INSURANCE Junior Foursomes at Athlone Golf Club from September 28 to 30.
