Athlone Golf Club complemented its recent historic green pennant Junior Cup win with further team success on Sunday.

Firstly, the club's ladies defeated Castlebar GC to claim the Revive Active Connacht title at the Hodson Bay course, a feat which saw the winner's achieve a prestigious blue pennant for the the first time in 23 years.

After achieving a 2-2 draw with their County Mayo opponents in the first leg of the provincial final, the hosts won the second leg of the contest at Athlone GC.

Sunday also proved successful a men's representative team from Athlone GC as they won the inaugural Westmeath Club Championship at New Forest Estate & GC in Tyrrellspass.

This new format saw 12 golfers compete in four categories and with six clubs participating, Athlone GC emerged victorious by a 14 point margin.

The inaugural winners will look to repeat this success when the 2027 Westmeath Club Championship takes place in Athlone GC.
