Plummers V Edmondstown 44s
The Plummers played a fourball better ball 18H stableford competition last Friday 28th July v The Edmondstown 44s. The team of 12 from Killiney triumphed in a very tight match to retain the trophy in this annual match. The match was last played for in 2019 and it was great to have it revived. We enjoyed a superb meal here in KGC afterwards and many thanks to all in the club who helped with the day. Congratulations to the Plummers!
