Road Deliveries and Parker’s Pub, Kilflynn. The Prize giving Ceremony was held at Parker’s Pub, Kilflynn where there was plenty of food & drink for all those present. A great night was had by all. This scramble was due to be played in Mahony’s point golf course, Killarney, but was switched to the Cashen Course in Ballybunion on Saturday morning due to a waterlogged course.
This competition was postponed due to weather conditions, on Monday 27th December, on Saturday 15th January and again on Saturday 22nd January, at The Castlegregory Golf Course. So it was fourth time lucky.

CAMOGIE
Round 3 of the U16 Championship took place at Abbeydorney GAA pitch last Saturday in wet conditions and saw Kerry take on Wickow. Kerry started the better and by half time it was 5-6 to 0-0 in favour of the home team. Wicklow just couldnt get to grips with the crosswinds and sent a lot of posession wide, and with the Kerry girls scoring 2 further points in the second half, Wicklow got the scores they worked so hard for finishing with 1-1. Final score Kerry 5-8 Wicklow 1-1. Our thanks to Abbeydorney GAA club for the use of their facilities and to McElligots Bar for the use of their function room. . Again, a great win for the girls and hopefully this will continue at next weekends away match to Carlow. A win here is crucial to stay in the competition.
