McCartan and Queen's GAA launch Golf Classic
September 07, 2010The Golf Classic will mark the 20th Anniversary Year of the formation of Queen's University Gaelic Football Past Members' Union, and will be sponsored by Tyrone-based building and civil engineering specialists McAleer & Teague.
The QUB GFC PMU was formed under the chairmanship of the late Paddy O'Hara in 1990. The PMU was established to foster continued friendship among alumni of the club, while supporting initatives and ongoing development of the present Gaelic Football club.
While he is busy preparing for the forthcoming All-Ireland clash with Cork, James McCartan took time from his busy schedule to help launch the Golf Classic. McCartan is a former Sigerson Cup winning player and manager with the university.
The Golf Classic will be a team event made up of four players per team. The entry fee per team is £200 that includes green fees and a meal.
To enter a team, please contact the Past Members Union - Mr John Devaney (07793130417 or [email protected]) or Karl Oakes ([email protected]).
Tee times shall be allocated upon receipt of payment on a first come first served basis. The tee has been booked from 11.00am until 3.00pm.
Among the prizes will be the O'Hara Cup, named in honour of Paddy O'Hara.
John Devaney, QUB GAA PMU Chairman, said that "the Past Members' Union has been an important source of support for the Queen's club, while hosting a variety of events for past players. So many of our members are golf enthusiasts, so we would intend that this event would not only be an appropriate way of celebrating 20 Years, but may also become an annual event. We are delighted also that McAleer and Teague will be supporting this event".
QUB Past Members Union are also in the process of organising a reunion for the Sigerson/Ryan Cup teams of 1990, 1992, 1999 and 2000. This event will take place at the university on Saturday, 4th December. Details will be available soon. Tweet
