More than 100 competitors, aged between seven and 17, took part in the event. Golfers from as far away as Cavan, Athlone and Monaghan joined competitors from across Northern Ireland for this unique competition.

Mayor of Antrim, Councillor Adrian Cochrane-Watson said: “Every year the competition just gets bigger and bigger and the fourth year of the All-Ireland Antrim Girls Golf Open has been no exception, with entries from 35 golf clubs throughout the North and South of Ireland.

“It’s great to see some of those who competed in last year’s nine-hole competition returning this year to take part in the 18-hole Stableford.”

The mayor congratulated the winners, who included Jessica Boal from Larne (Scratch Trophy).
