their 'fun day' which was held on Sunday 3rd August. Mixed weather throughout

didn't keep scores as it was for fun, but were declared the overall winners
& presented with the Accord Hospice Cup, in memory of Flora O'Neil,
(donated by Mrs O'Neil's family, a former resident at the hospice).

kids received a medal too. The Captain on the day Liam Cairns was asked
to collect the trophy,and the photo shows Liam holding the cup

first instance. We are honored & humbled and will be for some time.

"it keeps you on your toes".
