Congratulations to all involved in senior pitch & putt in St. Brendan’s. Over the past 2 years, a team comprising of Fintan Martin, Robbie Harnett and Cillian Courtney have won back to back All Ireland’s at this level. This year we had an unprecedented FIVE teams qualify for the All Ireland Final which was held in Clonmel today. For the 3rd year in succession St. Brendan’s have been crowned School Champions in Pitch & Putt. Our team of Nathan Cronin, Brian McCarthy and Captain Ben Kelliher finished in 1st place with Fintan, Robbie and Ronan Bennett just a few shots behind in 3rd place. Having 2 teams in the top 3 and 5 teams on the National stage is a great credit to our students and their pitch & putt clubs here in town. Noah Sexton, Luke Doolan and Brian O Shea, Gavin Madigan, Dara Wickham and JJ O Donoghue, Jack Rudden, Christian Lyne and Jake Downing also represented the school at the highest level today.
