We had a very busy weekend of inter-club competition. Our Senior Men kicked off the weekend with a resounding victory over Tipperary in Clonmel on Friday. On Saturday, our Fred Daly Juniors also had a convincing win away to Tipperary. The weekend was rounded off with the narrowest of defeats at home against Thurles in the mixed foursomes, in a match that went all the way to the final putt on the last green.
Congratulations and thanks to all involved.
