Do you like this story?
KENMARE are the 2011 Dr Billy O'Sullivan Shield champions following a great win in an exciting final against Dooks at Beaufort some of the golf played was more like that played by scratch players than eighteen plus handicappers.
The result of three and a half to one and a half does not really reflect the closeness of the game but Kenmare were well worth their win.
Of the four semi-finalists Kenmare had played the best golf and the writing should have been on the wall but many people favoured Dooks for the win thinking that maybe Kenmare would not produce the goods for the second week running. However, they proved everyone wrong and fair play to them.
Both sides made a number of changes to their line up's from the semi-finals for availability and tactical reasons. Kenmare are absolutely thrilled to have won the title as they have not won it since 2003.
The season comes to a close on another Dr Billy O'Sullivan tournament as Kenmare pick up their fourth title having previously won in 1994, 2001 and 2003 making them the most successful club in the history of the championship alongside Killarney who have also won it on four occasions.
