The Duquesa Golf Club, in collaboration with the Duquesa Charitable Society of Saint George, held a Charity Golf Tournament and Dinner, on Saint George’s Day, 23rd April, to raise funds for the Saint George Charity.

Nearest the pin winners were – John Myers, Noel Corcoran, Phil O’Brien, Lisa Grutter, Steve Bott, Alfie Chemaly and Debbie Wilkey. Longest drives Ann Marie Conlon and Dave Wilkins.
Later that evening diners enjoyed a lovely meal with live music from the talented Danny Vaughn, who had them up and dancing.
