The after play meal was of the highest standard and great credit to Ginny’s Bakery in Drumshanbo for a job well done.

Proceeds will go towards course development and there will be a substantial donation to the Oesophageal Cancer Fund, a charity close to the heart of the Martin family.

A well attended and very enjoyable function on Saturday night honoured Sean Creamer who recently retired as head Greenkeeper, a great servant and friend to the club over the years.
