The Annual MS Classic took place  at B&S GC on Sat 2nd June and what a turnout it got. With over seventy teams, this must be one of the best supported Classics in the North West.
Talking to one of the main organisers Veronica Gillen, she told me that she was absolutely delighted with the event which B&S Â has been hosting now for some eleven years.
Veronica had nothing but praise for the people who helped make the classic so successful and was so appreciative of every single person and business who sponsored prizes, tee-boxes, team or just gave donations.
She was also delighted with the support  that Ballybofey and Stranorlar Golf Club have given the charity over the years and one member  in particular, Liam O’Neill who worked tirelessly in thethe build up to it and making sure that things went smooth on the day.
