In particular circumstances I am extremely grateful to Lady Captain Michelle Hassett, Captain John Greed, Vice Captain, Declan Russell, Les Mason, Pat O’Connell, Marian Keely and Kay Brennan just to mention some, who helped out in various ways to ensure the smooth running of the competition and presentations. Thanks as always to Pat O’Connell for the excellent condition of the course. I congratulate Jerry Keegan Snr. on claiming the top honours. Congratulations to all the other prize winners on their results. Regards, Sean.
