The top 4 teams which emerged successful after the keenly contested league stage of the tournament went into battle this afternoon in the final of the Winter Tournament. The weather was kind for the occasion and the course was in superb condition.
The winning team was BLACKWATER (Dan O'Toole, Jim Ellis, Jim Durkan, Liam Jones, Mark Hederman and Marguerite Carey) with 81 points; Second was ERNE (Barbara Kearney, Tom Creavin, Stephen Walsh, Thomas Corcoran, Anne O'Dea and David Robinson) with 73 points; Third was MOY (Robert Hayes, Roger Kenny, Michael Barry, Patrick Hagin-Meade, Hazel Colfer and Sean McGlade) with 64 points; and Fourth was NORE (Ger Murphy, Patrick McCarthy, Mark Farrington, Paul Williams, Bernie Barry and Patricia Byrne) with 59 points.
We would like to thank the 84 members who participated in the tournament and made it such a wonderful and interesting event over the harsh winter months. The "Man on the Fence" gave an added dimension to the tournament this year and the weekly commentary was eagerly looked forward to with interest!
A very special thanks to Dan Meaney for his commitment and time in the running of the tournament this year and over past years, and also to Pearse McCarthy in providing statistical back-up to Dan. Well done..... it's much appreciated!
