Cill Dara, winners of the Pierce Purcell Shield
Cill Dara collected the AIB Leinster Pierce Purcell Shield last weekend after a nail biting win over Newlands at Greenore Golf Club.
The final of this prestigious competition went down to the wire with the Kildare boys clinching it on the 22 hold of the final game to take the title 3 and 2.
In the quarter final Cill Dara defeated Castlewarden 4/1 and got the better of Castlecomer 3 and 2 to book their place in the final.
