It was a brilliant weekend for the Lady Golfers in Mountbellew as they landed 3 Connacht titles at the weekend in the AIG Provincial finals in Ballinrobe. Mountbellew claimed the Intermediate Cup with a nail-biting 3-2 win over Gort, and they won the Intermediate and Minor Cups with dominant displays against Carrick on Shannon and Ballyhaunis. Athenry proved too strong for Ballina when winning the prestigious Junior Cup, capping a great week for the club in which their U18 Boys won the All Ireland Fred Daly Trophy, while Portumna Ladies (pictured above) beat near neighbours Ballinasloe in the Junior Foursomes decider.
