Our Junior Club thrived in 2024, under the leadership of our junior conveners Jim McDonnell and Lady Captain Elaine McGloughlin. We now have strong membership levels for both junior boys and girls, with our cadet membership surpassing 100, and over 30% of them being girls.

A wave of very talented young players is emerging, and their growth and accomplishments this year deserve high praise. Notably, this year’s Leinster Trophy Team was composed entirely of Junior Boys, who showcased impressive skill and professionalism representing Skerries GC in their first adult Golf Ireland Inter-Club Competition. Congratulations also to Muireann Bagley and Martha Caden who received Golf Ireland Medals.

Gavan Farrell, our Cadet Convener, ran an excellent program that made for a truly enjoyable season for everyone involved. In 2025, we plan to make some adjustments to our Cadet Sundays to better prepare our older Cadets for their transition to Juniors.

SPONSORSHIP

We had great support and sponsorship in 2024 from former Captain Brian Lee and from Grimes Real Estate Agents, who provided a trophy (Paul Grimes Cup) for the winner of a new matchplay competition. Grimes also supplied Club crested branded t-shirts to the Junior Teams.

VOLUNTEERS

Thank you to all of the volunteers, with a special call out to Pat Horan, Catriona Smartt, Michael Neary, Moya Gorey, Louise Shannon, Joe Hilliard, Gavan Farrell, and Pro Bobby Kinsella for all of their hard work. Also, a big welcome to Maeve Griffin & Liz McHugh, who will be joining our Junior Committee in 2025.
