Team GMIB claim first place in St Paul’s Golf Classic

Published

St Paul’s Basketball Club staged another hugely successful golf classic on Saturday last as sunshine and a fresh westerly breeze greeted the early starters in Beaufort.

Cllr Niall O’Callaghan fired off the first drive at 8.40am and by evening time over 30 teams had negotiated their way around the long but pristine track.

When all the calculations were complete it was the Gallivan Murphy Insurance Brokers (GMIB) team of Tina O’Sullivan, Sinéad O’Shea, Sinéad Lynch and Lelia Moloney who displayed great course management and no little skill to find themselves in the winners enclosure.

They had to be at their very best as another all-female combination chased them all the way home. Aileen Curtayne and her team played wonderfully well and ultimately secured the silver medal.

Jim Delaney assembled a crack squad of Anthony O’Carroll, Donal Carroll and Ryan Kavanagh and they were the final group home, capturing third place. The Tony O’Sullivan-led Kerry Agri Business Store are never far away from a podium finish, and they dovetailed well to grab fourth place.

Lorcan King hit a beauty to the challenging second hole to secure Nearest the Pin while Paudie Kerins was like a radar on the fourth to pilfer that prize.

Afterwards, the club expressed their gratitude to everyone who took part in the golf classic, as well as those who sponsored a team or a tee box. Special thanks was also given to Tadgh Clifford and the greenkeeping team at Beaufort Golf Club who had the course in immaculate shape despite the unpredictable weather, and to Helen and the staff in the clubhouse who made sure everyone got fed and watered.

Finally, this event would not be the success it was without the work of the organising committee, namely Seán Brosnan, Joe Sheehan, Maurice O’Donoghue, Jim Delaney, John Carroll and Tom Looney.

RESULTS: 1st GMIB (Tina O’Sullivan, Sinéad O’Shea, Sinéad Lynch, Lelia Moloney). 2nd Bunkers Bar (Aileen Curtayne, Deirdre Galvin, C Doyle, A Walker). 3rd Senator Windows (Jim Delaney, Anthony O’Carroll, Donie Carroll, Ryan Kavanagh). 4th Kerry Agri Business Store (Tony O’Sullivan, Kieran McCarthy, Brendan Nagle, Mike Fitzgerald). Nearest the Pin - 2nd Lorcan King, 4th Paudie Kerins.
