Father and Son Final 2024
The Father and Son Final for 2024 took place recently and featured Ray and Keith McDonnell against Declan and Ruadhán Murray.
These four had been whittled down from the 34 pairs who started off hoping to lift the trophy.
With both Keith and Ruadhán having performed so well this year for the club and the fathers bringing plenty of experience it promised to be a close affair.
And so it proved with Ray and Keith clinching the title on the 17th by a score of 3 & 1.
Congratulations to Ray and Keith who defended their title from 2023. It’s actually their third success having also won in 2011.
