Men’s Senior Inter Association Panel 2024
The men’s Senior Inter Association team for 2024 has been announced..
There will be a number of practice sessions between November 2023 and March 2024. These will be held on a number of the all-weather greens. The venues are yet to be decided. We will have a few Saturday sessions when there is no winter league games and a couple of Sunday sessions on dates to be agreed.
We had a very successful assessment day in Blackrock a few weeks back and as a result we are extending the panel to include a number of younger players. Congratulations to all the players who have made the panel and thank everyone who attended Blackrock for the assessments day.
