It was not to be for David Harnett this morning in Rocklodge in the Junior Mens National Matchplay semi-final although he put up a good late fight trailing by six with seven to play in only losing out by 3&2 after to eventual runner-up Aidan O'Rourke of Cunnigar.

We congratulate David on replicating his brother Robbie's achievement of winning a bronze medal at a National Junior Mens Championship as he held his own over the weekend.

Closer to home our first Sunday draw in a month produced a rather unique achievement from a certain Mike 'Seve' O'Leary!

Elsewhere in what has been a very sad week in Killarney in general we want to offer our condolences to those who have lost loved ones. We especially want to offer our condolences to the O'Leary and MacIndoe families along with our CE Scheme worker Pat O'Sullivan on the death of his mother Maureen.

May they Rest in Peace.

While our hopes of an all Deerpark Junior Mens Final at the National Matchplay are over we want to commend both David Harnett and James Foley on their performances today. Both won in the Last 16 with David winning his quarter-final with Riverdale's Gary O'Neill 5&3 to reach tomorrow's semi-finals.

James meanwhile had a very tight battle with Claycastle's Kieran Kenneally before losing out 2&1 in his quarter-final on the other side of the draw. We also say well done to Jean O'Shea on a great performance in her Junior Ladies quarter-final as she lost out to Bishopstown's Angela Royer by 2&1.

Our best wishes to David tomorrow in the Junior semi-finals as we also would like to wish Tralee's Tony and Charlotte Blake well in the semi-finals of their respective grades.

A mixed opening day at the National Matchplay for our members as both James Foley and David Harnett advanced in the Junior grade to tomorrow but Damien Fleming lost out 2&1 to Dublin's Andy Lowe in Round 2 of the Senior Mens event.

Michael Cronin and Paddy Murphy also lost their Round 1 games in the Intermediate and Junior Mens grades respectively.

Our best wishes to James and David tomorrow as Eileen McCarthy and Jean O'Shea also begin their campaigns in the Ladies events.

Best Wishes to Damien, Michael Cronin (Intermediate), David Harnett, James Foley & Paddy Murphy (Junior) along with Eileen McCarthy (Intermediate Ladies) and Jean O'Shea (Junior Ladies) in Cork this weekend.
