Host club Kenmare celebrates landmark triumph

KENMARE became the first host club to win the Irish Examiner Amm Amm golf tournament yesterday when they beat 50 other clubs on a day of tremendously keen competition.

The trio of John Duggan, Tomás Mac Gearailt and Thomas McSweeney scored 51 points in the three-ball better ball event to capture the Thomas and George Crosbie Memorial Trophy for the third time in their history.

The club, celebrating its centenary year, won the competition at the inaugural outing at Cork Golf Club in 1973 and they were also successful at Kinsale in 1999.
