It was a successful day for the club at the 2018 Newry City AFC Golf Classic, held at Warrenpoint Golf Club on Friday August 17.

The fundraising event, run in conjunction with our charity partner Southern Area Hospice, saw almost 40 teams take to the course despite the inclement weather throughout the day.

The club would like to thank Main sponsors Warde Groupage and associate sponsors Peak Electrical, along with everyone who took part, sponsored a tee or helped out at the event.

Huge thanks to Paul Reavey, Nigel Shaw and all at Warrenpoint Golf Club for their assistance.

Congratulations to all the winners, who are listed below.
