Golf Classic Fundraiser for Castlemagner & Cecilstown Playground
Castlemagner & Cecilstown Playground group held their first fundraiser on Monday 6th June, which was highly successful with over 100 teams sponsored of which 70 teams played on the day. Teams varied from seasoned professionals to total novices which all added to the fun! All enjoyed their day with much banter, good sportsmanship and friendly rivalry. The committee would like to thank the generosity of those who sponsored teams, tee boxes, spot prizes and to thank all those who contributed in any way to making the event a success. Great credit is due to Kanturk Golf Club for their welcome and support on the day. The course was in superb condition and was very favourably commented on by visiting players and was reflected in the high scoring. Thanks also to Bob’s on the Green for their friendly service and welcome refreshment on the 19th hole! This is the first week of trading in Kanturk Golf Club for Bob’s on the Green and the committee would like to wish every success. Huge credit is due to the Castlemagner & Cecilstown PlaygroundGroup, which was newly formed in the Autumn of ’21, on their highly successful maiden fundraiser venture. The committee recognise that this is a fantastic start of a long journey towards their goal of having a playground in the community. From
