 Tom Walsh Trophy As promised......Pat with the trophy.... Next iteration of the Tom Walsh Trophy, with the Monday and Saturday pathways, is due for completion shortly.  Reminder, that the top four from both days qualify for the final elimination rounds.  If you qualify both days you remain where your highest score is earned and the next highest ranked player on that day moves up to replace you. Summer Time: Unusually fine weather brought us out in our summer finery..and to celebrate Joan's birthday.

The IPA Irish Mixed Doubles are shared between BBC and St. Anne's on Sunday June 7th. Two pistes in St. Anne's needed attention as they are rarely used.  We got them cleared of grasses and weeds and the Park Super. has said he will deliver extra top dressing shortly.  We might need a few helpers next week...
