The inaugual Carne Trophy, in memory of Molly O'Donnell.
St. Helen's Bay, Kilrane Co. Wexford hosted the first Carne Trophy competition on Saturday October 11th. Following the passing of Molly O'Donnell, a native of Carne, in 2008, Molly's granddaughter Susan and her husband, Russell, presented a trophy in her memory. An annual golf weekend has taken place in October for many years in which many of Molly's extended family and friends take part and it was felt that this was an appropriate way of keeping Molly's memory alive. The inaugural winning team included one of Molly's sons-in-law and grandsons-in-law.
