Athenry’s David Kitt held off a final-round challenge from Forrest Little’s Jack McDonnell and Castleknock duo Quentin Carew and Paul Coughlan to claim a hard-fought two-stroke win in the Trade Electric Group-sponsored Castletroy Senior Scratch Cup on Saturday.
So the last shall be first.
Castleknock’s Quentin Carew, a solid player who never threatened to win big before, hit the shot his life and eagled the 20th to come from four down at the turn to deny Royal Dublin’s Hugh Foley the AIG Irish Amateur Close and a famous hat-trick at Headfort.
Team selection is a thankless task but Royal Dublin's Hugh Foley looks determined to make a mockery of his non-selection for the Eisenhower Trophy after he produced a barrage of back-nine birdies to beat clubmate Richard Knightly and move into the semi-finals of the AIG Irish Amateur Close at Headfort.
