2014 Launch of Ladies Diamond Trophy

The 1st All Ireland Diamond Trophy Competition was launched by the Ladies of Woodenbridge Golf Club in September 2014.  Captain Aileen Sheehan and her team launched this competition to provide the Lady golfers throughout Ireland with a competition similar to the long running and very popular J B Carr Tournament for men.  Mary McKenna MBE, one of Irelands greatest ever female golfers, was approched and readily agreet to Patron this All Ireland senior club championship for woman over 60 years of age. 

One of the features of the competition is to bring together clubs that might now ordinarily meet.  The competition is run at a regional level and ultimately the successful finalist from each province come together to play the Al Ireland semi-finals and finals on the second week-end in September in Woodenbridge Golf Club. County Wicklow.

Our Mary McKenna Committe chaired by Susan Fitzpatrick wish to gratefully acknowlege Investec, Woodebridge Hotel & Lodge and Cassidy Wines , Aer Lingus & Newbridge Silver as our sponsors.
