Age is but a number for Malahide’s Máire Falvey

Máire Falvey has enjoyed playing golf for 48 years but Saturday morning in Malone Golf Club ranks amongst her proudest moments.

East Leinster champions Malahide celebrated the club’s 125-anniversary in winning fashion with a 4-1 win over Tyrone’s Fintona in the AIG Challenge Cup at Malone GC on Saturday.

Falvey, unbeaten all week, was amongst their stars in the final, but the 79-year-old was last night downplaying her individual achievements.
