Naas claimed the club’s first-ever green pennant with a thrilling extra-holes victory over Cahir Park in the AIG Women’s Intermediate Foursomes.
The Co Kildare women held their nerve, bounced back from two defeats, and won the two remaining matches at Ennis.
Caitlin Fitzgerald and Joanne Quaid won the third match, and sisters Michelle and Emma Keating claimed what looked like another crucial victory for Cahir Park.
However, Anne Flanagan and Mary Renaghan were 2-up winners, and then Caroline Brogan and Louise Quinn forced the decider to the 19th.
Brogan and Quinn were called upon again, and they eventually did enough to see off Michelle Keating and Emma Keating for a history-making win.
“What a panel. All year we chopped and changed, and then we have to go down 19, and we pick a particular pair, but when I said to the girls they have to go down 19, they said, ‘Okay, we’ll do it for the club,'” said Murray.
“It’s fantastic, first green pennant for Naas across the board. We did it today; it’s such an achievement.
“We lost the two matches, but they dug in, and I just walked along with them, trying to get them to breathe.”
