Thanks to all the hard-working Golf Committee who put in huge work for weeks to make this a great weekend. Thanks to the teams that came and played and supported our Golf Classic. Thanks to all that sold and bought raffle tickets, helped with food etc your support is much appreciated.  Thanks to Dundrum House Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort Club for allowing us the use of their beautiful golf course over the weekend and Mary Frances Barron for facilitating the prize given and auction. Finally, thanks to the Flynn family for supporting us all the way, Willie Snr (RIP) was one of Rockwell Rovers great clubmen. This event was in recognition of Willie who not alone was a great within Rockwell Rovers but also within the New Inn community. The sudden and untimely passing of Willie touched everyone who knew him, and this was shown by the number of teams that supported the golf and the amount of people who attended Barron’s last night and contributed to the auction to raise funds for the chosen charity. Check out Rockwell Rovers Facebook for pics and results.
