Thank You! ⛳

We are incredibly grateful for the fantastic support we received for our Golf Classic last Friday.

A special thank you to Morgan Doyle, PJ O'Reilly and Christy Power for all your help in the lead-up to the event and on the day itself. Your support was invaluable and the Golf Classic would not have been possible without you.

Our sincere thanks also to our sponsors, Poe Kiely Hogan Lanigan Solicitors, for their generous support.

Thank you to all those who donated prizes, sponsored a tee, bought raffle tickets and participated in the Golf Classic. Your contributions helped make the event such a success.

Finally, a huge thank you to the SOS team, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes for many months to bring the Golf Classic to life.
