Niamh Kitching defends Cork Scratch Cup

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY IRISH LADIES GOLF UNION
Niamh Kitching (Claremorris) defends the Ford Women’s Cork Scratch Cup when Ireland’s finest tee off at Little Island on Saturday, April 4.
Kitching will be looking for a repeat performance that saw her capture the title by one stroke from Co. Louth’s Deirdre Smith last April. She faces stiff competition from a host of Ireland’s elite including local favourites Gillian O’Leary and Emma O’Driscoll while Danielle McVeigh (Royal Co Down Ladies), who finished second at Woodenbridge last weekend, is sure to feature.
Other leading amateurs in the field include Sarah Cunningham (Ennis) and Carlow’s Karen Delaney and Aedin Murphy who will also use the run out in preparation for the Munster Women’s Championship at Shannon the following week.
Past winners of this prestigious event include Mary McKenna, Claire Coughlan, Eileen Rose Power, Bridget Gleeson and Ann Heskin, to name but a few.
Play commences with an 18 hole shot-gun start at 9.00am followed by the final round that afternoon at 2.15pm.
