Spring League - Round 4

They say home advantage is vital at the closing stages of any competition and Lakeside clearly outlined this advantage last weekend. Coming off a great result in Hillview the previous week, the Lakeside contingent knew that success on their home course would prove imperative for them to reach the Spring League Final for the first time since 2006. Lakeside have been growing in consistency over recent weeks and their players really stepped up to the mark last Sunday, skilfully lead by Paul O’Brien’s –19, Brian Cahill’s masterful –13 and the recharged Paul Tuohy who blasted home –6 in the Junior Grade. Their remaining players who were very consistent in their respective grades ensured they would claim victory on the day and they are now very much on the front foot leading in the last day of the league at Larkspur Park this coming Sunday. Riverdale who had a stumble in Hillview the previous Sunday are not mathematically through to the final, but only a cynic would suggest that they would not make the final. Hillview by coming 3rd at Lakeside ensured that this coming Sunday is really a shoot-out with Lakeside to see who will join Riverdale in the final. Both club’s players are now playing their best after indifferent starts to the League and Sunday’s final round is eagerly awaited. Paddy Quinn’s Lakeside Charges will be chomping at the bit to reach the final where as James Cleary’s Hillview Masters will be very anxious to reach the final in order seek revenge against Riverdale on last years defeat. We are in for a scintillating battle at Larkspur Park this coming Sunday. The Co Board would like to thank the Lakeside Club for the excellent condition in which they presented their course and also to the players who are continuing to support the league in such huge numbers, your support is very much appreciated.
Final round of the league will take place at Larkspur Park on Sunday 08/03/09 at Larkspur Park from 09.30am - 1.30pm.
