Golf Fundraiser for Togo Africa Trip

Fr. John O’Callaghan has once again organised a trip to Africa with some Fifth Year students; this year to a Benedictine Monastery in rural Togo.  There are eight boys travelling with the intention of donating computers and teaching the Togo students some IT skills and English.

To raise funds, one of the students, Zach O’Connor organised a golf tournament in Ballyneety Golf Club. It was very well supported by the student body and their parents.   Many thanks to all the team sponsors, the tee sponsors and the prize sponsors including Fine Wines, Gleeson Sports and Supervalu Castleconnell.

The event was won by Team Blake but notably the third year team of Dan McCarthy, Conan Kochhar, Logan O’Connor and Tadhg Buckley featured in the prizes.  A signed Munster jersey was donated by SCT coach, Ian Keatley.  This was won by Conan Kochhar in an elaborate game of “heads or tails”.   Also Dan McCarthy won PAX engraved cuff links in a “rock, paper, scissors challenge between the Third years
and Fifth years.

The event raised €3,036. Thank you to all who participated and donated and to Fr. Denis for the team photos.
