The winner of that first outing was Finn Valley College PE teacher, Paddy McDaid, who set the pace early that day and didn’t relinquish his position at the head of affairs for the rest of the season. Remarkably, this was Paddy’s fifth time winning the much-coveted title and is testament to the consistency he shows each year. Congratulations Paddy.

This competition involves the cumulative scores gained over the course of the season at ‘Signature’ holes chosen by the Captain at each outing. This year’s winner was Moville Community College’s Ryan Monagle who secured the win with an excellent par at the 15th hole in Letterkenny. Congratulations Ryan. Winner of the Captain’s Prize on the day was Coláiste Ailigh’s John Bosco Gallagher who came home with a fine score of 37pts that included a couple of birdies on the tough outward nine.
