Competition AIG Pierce Purcell 2020

The result was in the balance until the very end with the Kilkenny lads losing the final two matches in ‘extra time’.

Members still refuse to put their name, and handicap on their scorecard.
It is the responsibility of each person to ensure that they complete their score card correctly.
Despite last weeks reminder, members continue to forget to ensure the basics are completed on their card.
There were a number of incidents again this week.
Failure to do any of the above will lead to disqualification and this is being implemented immediately.
A reminder that if you feature in the top three of an away competition or Classic you must record you score on the sheet on the notice board in the foyer.
