Kenmare Golf Club 2 Sisters Golf Tournament

The first 2 Sisters competition was held in Kenmare Golf Club over the weekend. This event, the first of its kind was exclusively for golfing sisters and proved an outstanding success for the 64 teams that took part.

After the Friday foursomes a local team, Chris O’ Siochru and Breda Morgan Sullivan topped the field, closely followed by Geraldine McCarthy and Jenny McCarthy from Mallow.

With another fine day on the Saturday and singles to play the result was still in doubt. Despite some fine play by the McCarthy Sisters, the O’ Neill Sisters and the Brosnan Sisters the Morgan sisters hairdressers from Kenmare proved to be a cut above the rest and held on to their lead.

Kenmare Lady Captain Breda Murphy was delighted “This weekend was a great success and all thanks to the committee and to those behind the scenes who worked so hard to make this happen. To get 64 teams from all over Ireland and abroad into Kenmare was truly fantastic. But of course this couldn’t have happened without the support of our sponsors and in particular I would like to thank Finbar Cotter Newbridge Silverware Cork.

Finbar Cotter from Newbridge Silverware commented, “We are delighted to be associated with the “2 Sisters” and are looking forward to our continued involvement in this unique event.
