Team News
Portsalon's Pierce Purcell team under the guidance of Daniel Shields suffered playoff pain against Roe Valley on Sunday. The new format this season sees two homes games and two away ties playing simultaneously, with the designated 'home' team having advantage if a playoff is needed.
Portsalon pairing of Dean Shields and Alistair Rodger were handsome 7&5 winners on home soil, while Shane Sandilands and Brian Haughey recovered from being four down after nine to tie their match.
In Roe Valley, Jonathan and Mark Gallagher landed a half match, while John McGettigan and Gary Sheehan were defeated by a strong home pairing. In the playoff, the Gallagher boys were denied on the second hole by a par, as they lipped out to keep the match going. A tough defeat to swallow. Thanks to John Shields, who was overseeing events in Portsalon and relaying the news to Roe Valley.
