Niall Sheils Donegan


Q. Thoughts on the result and the match?

NIALL SHEILS DONEGAN: Yeah, it was a great result. Obviously getting a win in your first match, great for the momentum for the rest of the weekend. We were just trying to get some energy going with the rest of the team.

We knew that we were playing well, and we wanted to kind of make that energy move forward through the other three groups that were going.

Q. Do you feel the keys to the match, winning the match was that was started with winning those back to back?

NIALL SHEILS DONEGAN: Yeah, those were massive holes for us. Unfortunately, I had a little bit of brainlessness from me on 9, but those two birdies were massive for us to build a good margin where 9 could happen and it wouldn't really punish us too much. We did a great job in defence of that.

Q. Obviously really happy just securing that point in the hand?

NIALL SHEILS DONEGAN: Points are massive. Points are what get you over the line. To get one feels great. Going out this afternoon to try to get another.
