The winner of the Category 1 Section was Cormac Redmond with 36 points and Anthony Doyle won the Category 2 section with 31 points. Tom Donnelly was best on the front 9 with 18 points and Caroline Browne took the back 9 with 19 points. Alex Sheehan had the longest drive on the day. Prizes for “nearest the pin” on the Par 3 holes were awarded to Alex Sheehan (2) Caroline Browne and Robert Doyle
