Condren Adds To Greystones’ Trophy Chest

Goddamn, we’re beginning to think Greystones should have pulled together for a Lotto ticket over the past weekend…

Following news of Paul Dunne’s historic win at the British Masters, we’ve just learnt that local man Alan Condren has added to a remarkable weekend with a trophy of his own.

With a seven-stroke win at Clandeboye, Condren snagged himself the Irish Mid-Amateur Championship title on Sunday.

The win for Condren – who won the Leinster Mid-Am in 2015 [right] – came just hours after Dunne sank his winning chip on the 72nd.

Even though we’re not entirely familiar with the rules of golf at GG HQ, we’re nonetheless happy, if slightly baffled, to report that Condren was well enough ahead of the pack to afford a final round of 74 and yet easily still beat his nearest rival, Mark Duffy from Naas, on five-under-par 208.

We couldn’t figure out from the scoreboard if Condren converted any of those pars into goals, but, hey, the main thing is, the Greystones lad won.
