Moments after Leonard Flynn & Michael Cassidy clinched the winning Newsam Cup point on the 17th green on Sunday, hand shakes and laughing pockets of elation spread out across the course in front of the clubhouse, and in the 18th fairway at Knightsbrook GC.
Sitting on the seat of a caddy-cart beneath the clubhouse balcony, stand in manager, Pat O’ Rourke who had played a leading role in Knightsbrooks 3/2 victory over Co. Meath GC, basked in the semi-final victory.
That was a great result against our nearest rivals, it is amazing,” O’ Rourke said. “ This will be our fourth Newsam Cup final appearance for the club and I know this team will be really looking forward to a second consecutive final appearance over in Royal Tara GC. With our experience in this competition everybody now will want to go all the way and win the clubs first Newsam Cup pendant”.
