Another fantastic achievement came from our up and coming junior Donnacha Cleary, who this year won:

the Irish U16 boys All- Ireland title in Cahir Park G.C.; he played on the Junior Foursomes team; was selected for the U16 High Performance Development squad; is ranked U16 number one; U18 top 20 and won the Annerville Award for golf.

The Sixes team who won in Munster and reached the All-Ireland finals at Portmarnock Golf Club.

Our golf sixes were victorious in a Munster Area qualifier in Ennis, beating the host team. This qualified them for the national final which was held on October 24 in Portmarnock G.C. It was an amazing experience for the players, who ranged from 7 to 13.
