International Match Report - Summer 2018

CAI vs CSOEC

A strong Irish team was victorious against CSOEC at Lahinch GC from 21-23 June. Match Manager Hilary Haydon , pictured above with Christian Pescheux, the Captain of the French Chartered Accountants team from the Conseil superior de l'Ordre des Experts  Comptables, retained the trophy for another year by a margin of 14.5 to 5.5. Three days of wonderful weather brought sunburn aplenty but no pain to the Irish team who performed well above expectations at Lahinch and Doonbeg.
