Our Junior and Senior Golfers took to the golf course on Monday 14th and Monday 21st March to represent C.S.N. in the Munster Junior Schools & Senior Schools tournaments.
Both competitions were run by the Golf Union of Ireland and were held at Cobh Golf Club.
For the Junior Team it was their first time representing C.S.N. and they played really well in excellent conditions.
Our Senior Team had had the opportunity to represent C.S.N. pre-covid and played some great golf. Despite the strong wind, they all parred the very challenging 10th hole.
Congratulations to both teams. They did C.S.N. proud and we look forward to seeing them play again on behalf of our school.
