Our major event of the year, The Cunnigar
Scratch Cup, took place last Saturday, September 3rd. This
competition, which is very generously sponsored every year by Lawlors Hotel,
Dungarvan, attracted some top class players to our well prepared course.
Despite a damp start to the day’s play, the weather cleared up and the quality
of scoring was exceptional. The eventual winner, Eddie Hennessy from Ashgrove,
carded a phenomenal 18 under par on his first 2 rounds. Despite a late comeback
in the play-off round by Paudie O’Sullivan from Claycastle, Eddie held his game
together and took the trophy (which he also won in 2009). Our own player,
Michael Delaney, showed his class on the day also by finishing in 3rd
place (which was a very popular result). Three other Cunnigar players were successful
in their grades. Andy Keoghan prevailed in the Intermediate Gents, Aiden
O’Rourke won the Junior Gents and Breda O’Donnell was victorious in the Ladies
(10-18).
In his address to the very large gathering at
the prize-giving presentation, our Chairman, Martin Shanahan, thanked all our
visitors for making the day a great success. He also thanked Lawlors Hotel for
the generous sponsorship that they provide annually to host this event. He also
praised the Cunnigar volunteers who had the course in ship-shape condition.
Sheila and the ladies in the kitchen were also singled out for the excellent
hospitality that was provided for everyone.
