Thursday Specials:
We had our final 9 Hole competition of 2014 which was a 3 club competition, the persistent rain earlier in the day ensured the turnout was low with 20 players teeing up. The winner was Tony Forde with 17pts. John McCafferty was the best past player with an impressive score of 19pts.
Our AGM was held on Thursday 25th September, the turnout was very disappointing again this year. The committee elected for 2015 is Chairman: Jimmy Melly, Secretary : Barry Kennedy, Treasurer : Robert Morrow Committee : Liam Farren, Frank O’Donnell, Adrian Murray and An Other(TBC).
Thanks to outgoing committee for organising yet another good year for the Thursday Specials.

If you are travelling, please make payment in full to any committee member. If you are on the list but unable to travel please contact any committee member as early as possible so your place can be offered to someone else.
