Team F league winners
The much awaited Corbett Court Sponsored Spring League final took place on Sunday morning, when the four top teams took to the tee boxes. We had a nice dry morning, ideal for the occasion. In the qualifiers there was never much between the teams, the same was true in the final. As they say in the other small ball game not a puck of a ball between them, how true!
Team F; John Hogan, Noreen Ryan, Liam Roche, Con Martin, John Walshe were the winners with a score of 146. 2nd place Team B; Seán Howard, Michael Gowen, James Martin, Paul Magnier, Seán Hegarty with a score of 147. 3rd place Team H; Aidan Ahern, John McCarthy, Tom Shanahan, Catherine Morrissey, Nell Coughlan with a score of 164.
At the presentation of prizes chairman, Seán Howard, welcomed all and thanked Declan Corbett for his continuous generous sponsorship to the club. He thanked all for making the league a success, those who checked the cards every Sunday during the league and on the final Sunday. Seán thanked all who helped with the catering and the beautiful refreshments which were greatly appreciated by all, and all who had the course in pristine condition for the event. In reply Declan Corbett said he was delighted to be sponsoring the Club League saying it was his 22nd year coming on board and never getting a wet day for the final Sunday, quite a record! The club ask members to support The Corbett Court Restaurant whenever possible.
