CORK

An excellent weekend away from 11th to 13th April was enjoyed by about 40 people, writes Chairman Harry Matson.
The Annual event took place as usual at the Butler Arms Hotel in Waterville with golf played at the Waterville Club on the Saturday. Glorious sunshine was the order of the day. "Most enjoyable", says Harry.
The men's event was won by Dan O'Flynn, the ladies contest by Bridie Casey. Elected Captain for the year was Pat Casey who hosted the match for the Captain's Prize held at Muskerry at the beginning of July.
Again glorious weather was enjoyed by the 45 players. Winner was Ger Cunningham, former Cork Hurling goalkeeper, who had a one point victory over another well known sports star, Brian Murphy.
The event was sponsored by Gerry Ahern of T & A Builders supplies who put up a grand array of prizes. Captain Pat Casey was delighted with the day and the condition of the course and the catering provided by his club.
