This scoreline would suggest some confidence but the tricky Mayobridge course proved to be challenging enough to reverse the score and all came down to ‘holes up’.

Calculators came out when Mayobridge finished with a 5-0 win but they ended up only 13 holes up and Rathmore now progress to the next round. A few weeks should see the team Captain’s nails grow enough for another chewing then!
