On Thursday 15 September, eighty-two ladies, including 20 visitors, played in the annual McAnerney’s Charity Open Stableford Competition which was once again very generously sponsored by McAnerney’s Supermarket, Armagh.
On the same day the sponsor, Mrs Catherine McAnerney, hosted a coffee morning which raised a fantastic £1,347 for Southern Area Hospice Services. Through the competition entry fee, money was also raised for Brain Tumour Research.
Despite all the dry weather, work on the course made conditions extremely difficult and this was reflected in the scores.
