GolfSixes requires a team of six to play in pairs, in a Texas scramble format over six holes. It is for under 13s and is aimed at grassroots golfers.

A spokesperson for Portadown Golf Club said: “After super performances from all pairs, the super six were absolutely delighted to finish in 2nd place and qualify for the ‘All Ireland Finals’ to be played at The Grange, Dublin on Sunday 17th September.

"Portadown Golf Club’s Junior Committee would like to thank all the parents and volunteers for supporting and taxiing our team. Massive thanks must also go to Indie and Willow who helped get our team kitted out in their fantastic new polo shirts.

"It has been a long time since Portadown Golf Club’s Junior Section were in an All Ireland final. We couldn’t be prouder of Rory, Harry, Mikey, Tommy, Poppy and Sarah-Jayne who have been an absolute credit to the Club.

"Everyone at PGC wishes you the very best in the finals. Don’t worry about the result, just have fun and enjoy this unreal experience. What an achievement!”
