Killarney rally driver Colin O’Donoghue will tackle the Beatson’s Building Supplies Rally Mull in Scotland next month, marking his first competitive outing of the year.

O’Donoghue returns to the driver’s seat for the first time since taking victory in the modified section of the Killarney Historic Rally last December.

The Scottish event marks only his second career rally appearance outside Ireland.

Navigated by Donegal co-driver Evan MacBride, O’Donoghue will field his Ford Escort MK2 as car number 11 in a packed Class 3 field.

The grueling three-day tarmac event runs across 220 kilometres of asphalt stages on the Isle of Mull from October 9 to 11.

Also making the trip across the Irish Sea are Cork crew Kevin Kelleher and Sean Hyde, who start directly behind O’Donoghue at car number 18 in a matching Ford Escort MK2.

Killarney Golf and Fishing Club welcomed a large gathering of former officers for its annual Past Captains’ Evening on Friday, September 25.

The event opened with the traditional Past Captains’ Competition on Mahony’s Point. Patrick Clifford, who served as Men’s Captain in 2007, delivered the winning score to take home this year’s trophy.

Following the round, attendees met in the President’s Room for dinner prepared by Truffle Honey.

Former Men’s Captains from across the decades attended the gathering to mark their continued involvement with the Mahony’s Point and Killeen club. Current Men’s Captain Tomás Kelliher presented the trophy to Patrick Clifford at the conclusion of the evening.
