Last weekend she was part of Douglas’ success in the Harbour Shield, another key ingredient in making players believe they are capable at the top level.

No club has done the double in the AIG Senior Cups since 1979, Douglas has never won the Men’s Senior Cup and their women’s team are looking to go back-to-back for the first time since 1987. It could be an historic weekend on home soil on the southside of Cork city.

For people like JP Hughes, Karen Wilkins and Bernie Heffernan they have been pulling the strings behind the scenes for years now helping the current crop of talent to reach this stage. However, the project is all about continuity and ensuring Douglas retain golfers and continue to grow their family atmosphere.
