Dublin Journalists even the Score The annual match between the'Press Radio &
Television' and 'Dublin Journalists' Golf Societies for the Michael
Carwood Memorial Trophy was held in conjunction with the PRTV outing
to Greystones on Monday 15th October. Before play commenced, the overall
match score stood at 5 - 4 to the PRTV, but following an enjoyable
day's golf, parity had been restored, as a determined DJs team proved
too strong and emerged victorious with a few shots to spare. As is
customary, the Carwood family were on hand to present the trophy,
which was gratefully accepted on behalf of the winning team by Vice
Captain Donal Doherty. In the after dinner speeches, both Donal for
the DJs and Ronan Collins for the PRTV warmly remembered Michael,
who is as sorely missed today in golfing, musical, journalistic and
family circles as when he sadly passed away. Michael's son Mark, now
based in the U.S. taming such courses as Bethpage Black off his +1
handicap, replied on behalf of the family. Having reached the 10 year
milestone, the trophy is being retired, and officers of the two Societies
will meet to decide how best to honour Michael's memory into the future.

on the day. Matchplay
