Caroline Theyer won a prize for successfully guessing where Marie?s drive would land on the first hole.

Aine Binchy won the bronze division with a net 80 and runner up was Diane Reardon with a net 83.

On November 20 a stableford competition was played. Barbara Perriton won the silver division with 37 points and runner up was Dawn Bolt with 36 points. Aine Binchy won the bronze division with 38 points and runner-up was Georgie Evans with 27 points.
