Second All-Ireland title win for Killarney golfers
C
CONGRATULATIONS to the ladies team at Killarney Golf & Fishing Club who have claimed their second All-Ireland title in just over a month in the AIG Senior Foursomes Final.
The finals of the Ladies AIG Cups and Shields took place at Malone Golf Club, Belfast. The club’s senior foursomes team defeated Lurgan in Thursday’s semi-final and went on to meet Roscommon in the final on Friday.
The final proved to be a nail-biting encounter with the overall result coming down to the final match.
Play had to be suspended on Friday due to darkness, with the final match against Roscommon involving the pairing of Eimear O’Donnell and Amy Arthur, undecided after 20 holes. Play resumed at 10am on Saturday morning and the team were crowned the winners after Eimear O’Donnell holed a five-footer for par on the 21st hole to give them the All-Ireland title.
“This has been a momentous year for the club with two ladies senior teams winning All-Ireland titles. In August, the club’s senior cup team won the All-Ireland for the first time in the club’s history and now we have our senior foursomes team winning another All-Ireland title,” said Cormac Flannery, general manager of Killarney Golf & Fishing Club.
“This is testament to the strength and depth of talent we have in our Ladies section. The team managers and panels put a huge amount of work into the preparation for these competitions and it’s been fantastic to see all that effort pay off. The support received from the club members has also been a significant factor in their success. It’s a brilliant achievement and we’re just hugely proud of them.”
The Senior Foursomes Team manager was Claire Keating and the panel included Mary Sheehy, Fidelma O’Connor, Deirdre Prendergast, Anne Moynihan Rudden, Eimear O’Donnell, lady captain Amy Arthur, Mary O’Doherty and Corrina Griffin.

Members of the Killarney Soroptimist Society visited the Rockmount Care Centre on Wednesday, to present a cheque for €3000 to Nurse Manager Mary Hussey.
The significant sum was raised during the society’s successful annual pancake morning held on Shrove Tuesday at the Killarney Avenue Hotel.
Rockmount Care Centre provides essential support as a dedicated day care facility for individuals living with Dementia and Alzheimer’s, serving many clients and families from the Killarney area.
These funds arrive at a vital time, as they are earmarked for the centre’s new sensory garden project, which is currently in the design phase.
Pictured at the presentation are Soroptimists members handing over the proceeds to Mary Hussey. The society extended their thanks to the Killarney Avenue Hotel and all those who supported the fundraiser to help make this donation possible.
