As a result of the competition being cancelled on two Sundays because of weather conditions Sunday the 12th of Decembers' competition is THE FINAL ROUND of the Winter Alliance.The overall winner in each section will be determined by their two best cards from competitions played. Thanks to Murt Mangan, sponsors representative, for their support.

Enniscorthy remains closed as Country under water.

Due to the inordinate amount of rainfall over the past week several courses were closed up and down the County at some stage or other including Enniscorthy. This caused disruption to several golfing events such as Martin Doyle’s Classic and the Gents Open Seniors Singles. The later has been postponed to tomorrow, Thursday the 19th, with the time sheet already in action and filling up. Hopefully, the midweek Ladies or Gents Open Fourball Qualifier will have gone ahead although the forecast remains unsettled. This Saturday, course conditions permitting, we welcome Pauline’s Golf Society. This is their second visit this year when on their initial visit last February they gave a glowing report on the state of the course and the hospitality of the officers and the clubhouse. The Cathal O'Shaughnessy golf society follows Pauline’s G.S. and we wish all a pleasant days’ golf. Sunday we see the O.C.M Construction Winter Alliance Gents Open Singles continues and we thank Murt Mangan for his sponsorship of this event. The Club Dinner takes place on Saturday night the 28th of November and tickets are available from the office.
