The annual Martin Doyle Classic was held on last Saturday. Unfortunately the weather was not so favourable, the ladies who began early fared best. In spite of the inclement conditions a large number of ladies took part in the scramble and returned to the clubhouse later for a super evening's entertainment. This began at 7.30 and continued late into the night. The presentation of prizes was first on the agenda and the array of prizes was fantastic. Ger Doyle of Martin Doyle & Sons Butchers was on hand to greet all the ladies in turn as they collected their winnings. This is really the final major event of the season for the ladies and spirits were high as the successes of the year were recounted. Thanks to Barry and his staff for the beautiful food served and to local band "Down and Out" for a great night's music and entertainment afterwards. A huge 'thank you' to Jimmy and Ger for their continued support and sponsorship.
First prize was won by the team of: Jennifer King (5), Mary Egan (36) and Hilary Kehoe (36) with a score of 63.3. However, on this special occasion there was a prize for everyone in the audience and they were received to rapturous applause.
Wine tasting course delivered by John O'Dwyer (WSET Diploma) was a great success last Thursday night. All wines tasted are now on special offer from Barry Whelan in the bar.
