Golf Classic 2024
On Friday, 3rd May Ballyhooly GAA held their annual Golf Classic at Fermoy Golf Club. After a very wet Thursday, a dry bright day on Friday was a welcome sight.
We were delighted to welcome Dairy Concepts/Cheese O's as our main sponsor this year and our grateful thanks to them for their support.
