A total of 250 golfers teed off over three days on Carlow, Bunclody and Mount Wolseley courses for the event. The players, who came from all corners of Ireland and some from Britain, enjoyed three days of excellent golf along with delicious food and refreshments at each club.
The prize-giving ceremony and gala dinner in Mount Wolseley was attended by the lady captains and captains of Carlow, Bunclody and Mount Wolseley golf clubs.
