Both Alan Hanlon, Captain of Collinstown team, spoke as did Michael Connell , on behalf of the Kells team. This competition has been running for a number of years now and the proceeds go to the Diabetes Association of Ireland and this year it was the turn of the Meath branch and Kitty Collier accepted €520 was raised over the two days, on behalf of same. She said they were delighted to get same and that it would go a long way to help people suffering from Diabetes. It also helps to keep the memory of Sean Coyne, who was a great pitch & putt man both on the playing side & in administration, alive and in our midst. He was a member of both clubs.
