Fascinating interview of Silver Medalist Finn Lynch on OTB Sport Radio

If you ever wondered what it takes to compete at the highest level of the sport and how to mentally come back from a huge set back (eg not qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics), listening to Finn’s interview is both humbling and uplifting in equal measures!

Updated Social Calendar December 2021

Dear Members,

As we enter the festive season, please be aware that we have a number of weekend dates available for a la carte dining.

As you know the dining room, with its high ceilings and spacious layout presents itself as a very comfortable and safe venue for dining.

Cormac has introduced a more festive menu to include traditional Turkey and Ham, Venison and Pheasant dishes which has proved very popular with the members and their guests. Also please be reminded that the dining room can be divided into smaller sections for private dining for groups of 8 to 30. We look forward to welcoming you to the Club over the festive period.

Regards
John O’Grady
