Kilcullen ladies bring home medals

Pictured is Chrissie Byrne from the St Bridget’s Pitch & Putt Club in Kilcullen with the Elvery Cup after her recent win in the National Ladies Senior Pitch and Putt Championship.

The competition was held in the Ring Common Club in Balbriggan, Co Dublin on 10 July. Chrissie has become only the 10th lady player in the history of the game to become multiple winner of the National Strokeplay Championship while bringing her personal tally of Senior All Irelands to five.

It was an exceptional day for the club with three members taking home gold, silver and bronze to the club. Before this championship, no club had ever supplied the top three placed players in a single year in the National Ladies Strokeplay championship.

Well done Chrissie, Marian and Tara on their unprecedented achievement for St Bridget's and Kilcullen.

There will be a full report on the Kilcullen Club's current contribution to county and national competition in next week's Kildare Nationalist.
