Held in Kenmare Golf Club, the course itself was in pristine condition and the glorious sunshine provided the perfect weather for a great day of golf.

Their renovated club, which has only been open for a week, is modern yet retains its former charm. 65 teams teed off and in the end the golfers representing Kelly’s Contractors prevailed with a score of 68 pts. D&D Sound and Lighting were second on 61 pts. Glenflesk GAA were third with 60 pts, Mike Riordan’s team were 4th with 59 pts.

The prizes were presented in Kilcummin GAA Club bar and the family of Anthony O'Sullivan presented the winners with his perpetual trophy.

And the success of the event was down to the incredible hard work of the golf committee.

"We are very grateful to all those who sponsored teams, tee boxes and spot prizes, to all those who played and to the friends and family of Anthony O'Sullivan for their ongoing support of the Golf Classic," Breeda Duggan, President of the Kilcummin GAA Golf Society, said.
