JUVENILE PLAYER OF THE YEAR.
On Friday evening last the 13th we had the semi-finals and final of the above competition. In the semis were Nicholas Isdell, Cian Kennedy, Jack Buckley and Aaron Kennedy. The final was between defending champion Nicholas Isdell and Jack Buckley. There was some great pitch and putt played by all the boys but Nicholas showed his class and emerged the victor to win 5 and 4. Well done to all the boys and girls who turned up on the evening. There was a great party atmosphere in the clubhouse afterwards as all were treated to minerals, crisps and all sorts of goodies. There was a well deserved cuppa for the adults. Thanks to Michael and Liam Buckley who have looked after and coached the juveniles all year. They have a great bunch of young boys and girls coming along. Medals were presented to all the players and the semi-finalists were presented with little plaques. The winner Nicholas Isdell was presented with the Adrian Murray Trophy and a trophy which he can keep. Jack who was runner was also presented with a trophy. Thanks to Kathleen Bray who refereed the final. Thanks to Mary & Ena who were also on hand to lend their support and help out with the refreshments.
SYMPATHY.
We sympathise with Niall Cuffe on the death of his mother in law and with Jimmy Revins from the Custume club on the death of his brother. May they rest in peace.
