I would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who joined us for Sundays Captain’s Drive-In. It was fantastic to see such a strong turnout, with so many of you braving the elements to support the club and mark the official start of our 2026 season. The day was defined by great spirit, and it was a pleasure to see the matches played in such a jovial and sporting manner. I truly hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as I did.

A special word of thanks to our Men's Club Secretary Frank Grier and our Competitions Committee for helping to organise the event and to Kevin Rice and Stephen Gill for their invaluable assistance in managing the event on the day.

Please join me in congratulating our winners:

🏆 1st Prize: Eric Gaupp, John Daly, Tina McHugh, & Aine Thornton
🏆 2nd Prize: Ollie Concannon, Phil Concannon, & Dorothea Turley
