Qualifying — 18-holes strokes  — will take place on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th July.  The cost of entry is €70 per pair.

It is expected that this year’s qualifying events will attract more than 500 entrants representing over 100 different clubs. Just 64 pairs will qualify for the match-play stages of the event, which will run from Monday 7th July until the Final on Sunday 13th July. 

Last year’s winners were Michael & Stephen Finlan of Blessington Lakes and Dunmurry Springs.  The 2013 event was a huge success with competitors experiencing the tremendous Castle welcome that is enjoyed throughout the week by all participants.
