The fourteenth Wicklow Primary Schools Cup final was organised and hosted by Delgany Golf Club on Monday, 13th May, featuring 14 Primary School teams from within the Wicklow area.
The initiative to encourage school children up to 12 years of age to play golf was developed and promoted by Jason Bradshaw and Delgany Golf Club since 2009. JPA Brenson Lawlor, Chartered Accountants co-sponsored this year’s event. Local Wicklow Primary Schools have had weekly coaching and practice sessions which have been initiated by teachers and parents involving circa 500 school children from the ages of 8 to 12 years of age. The finals involved 56 boys and girls from fifth and sixth classes.
The Captains’ of Delgany Golf Club, Ian Barrett and Alison Graham stated that the Club was proud to be associated once again with this event and congratulated all the teachers,
parents, and the young golfers for their tremendous performance during the year and on the day.
