The Nellie Garrett Foursomes is a very popular event in the Ladies Fixture List due to the very generous sponsorship of Mrs Georgie Duke.

The competition was stiff and finishing in second place was the very talented pair, Fionnuala Crossey and Denise McBrien with 38 points.

They were pipped on count back by the new pairing of Ann Crommie and Marelene Nelson. We wish them all the best when they play at Knock in the District Final.
