FRED DALY COMPETITION IN THURLES
On Friday, the 17th April eight of our juniors travelled to Thurles to take on the Thurles juniors in the Fred Daly tournament. On the day, the more experienced Thurles lads proved too strong for our young team who played their hearts out and the tricky greens got the better of them on the day. This is a good experience for them as all the team have at least another two years to play at this level.

JUNIOR PRO-AM ST HELENS BAY 2009
Easter week was a very hectic week for the junior golfers of Slievenamon. Six juniors travelled to St Helens Bay in Wexford for two days golf in a junior pro-am. Daniel Hickey, Arron Conron and Ronan Fitzgerald played with Howth G.C. professional Mark O'Mahoney, while Aidan Lawless Jnr, Philip Quirke and David Smyth partnered professional Bobby King for the two days golf. What a wonderful experience it was for them especially considering the excellent quality of the course, the friendly and helpful nature of the golf professionals and the high quality of facilities put at the disposal of all the juniors attending the event. Well done to all at St Helens, we will return.
