Class Chats - Douglas Ladies All Ireland Senior Cup Winners 2025
Send us a textWelcome back to another Class Chat. In this episode Will welcomes back Clodagh Coughlan, Aoife NiThuama and Karen O'Neill from Douglas Golf Club. They recently retained the Ladies Senior Cup All Ireland Title in 2025. This is an amazing thing to do as we all know that winning is so hard. They came through very difficult weather conditions along the way having to win in the rain in Macroom to retain Munster South and then onward to Douglas Golf Club where they beat some strong opposition in Knock, Co Sligo and finally Lahinch in the Final with seriously strong winds. Having the finals in Douglas was a big deal and something not lost on the ladies. Being able to win in front of home support is something that they will never forget. Neither will I. This is a lovely chat with 3 really super people and serious golfers. Follow us on instagram @atocpod and follow our YouTube channel @atocpod
