League Champions for 2018
Following on this success Forrest Little Team were now looking to capture the Grand Slam and were seeded 1 v 4th placed Team Skerries in the Shield. Once again they continued their excellent form and ran out comfortable winners over Skerries and moved on to a Final date with Howth on Monday 26th March at Malahide Golf Club. In the Shield final against Howth they were looking strong favourites to complete the double when taking the first 2 matches, and appeared to have the upperhand in the 3rd match only to miss a crucial colour. Howth took advantage of this and were soon on level terms. The final match went right down to the wire and again some crucial pots brought victory to Howth to capture the Shield. While somewhat disappointed the above photo shows our proud & jubilant team with the Champions Cup 2018 , Team Manager Derek McCabe and our Captain Ray Gregan, getting his hands on the first silverware for the club in 2018.
