Murf Memorial

The 4th annual Murf Memorial took place at Lucan Golf Club on Saturday, 5th September, bringing together family and friends for a day of golf, competition and plenty of laughs.

The Murf Memorial was established in memory of Ciaran Murphy (Murf), who sadly passed away unexpectedly in 2022. The tournament is held each year on the weekend closest to Ciaran's birthday, 5th September. This year was particularly special as the tournament actually fell on Ciaran's birthday, making the occasion even more meaningful for everyone involved.

Thankfully, the weather stayed dry and the course was in great condition, allowing the 21 teams and 83 players to enjoy a fantastic day's golf.

Congratulations to the winning team Cian Fitzgerald, Graham Ward, Darren Egan and Declan Cunningham who took the coveted Murf Memorial Trophy home with an excellent net score of 57.90.

The Murphy family would like to extend their sincere thanks to Lucan Golf Club for hosting this year's event, and to everyone who contributed to making the day such a success. The generosity and support received from sponsors, family and friends is hugely appreciated.

Importantly, all monies raised will be donated to the Family Heart Screening Clinic at the Mater Hospital.
