DONNCHADH DUNNE ELECTRICAL W.E.S. WINTER LEAGUE 2025/2026
This year’s Gents Winter League has been keenly contested. With just three full weeks remaining the league is finely balanced, with only marginal points separating several teams. Every point now matters and there is still everything to play for. Players are encouraged to complete a minimum of 10 games to give their team the best chance of being in full contention and to reflect the true standings. Qualifying rounds will continue until 22nd February 2026. We appreciate everyone’s careful attention to recording points and totals accurately on both scorecards and the computer system. This ensures results are processed efficiently and helps keep the league running smoothly. Weekly scores and team progress can be viewed in the News section of the club website.
ON THE COURSE
We ask all visitors and members to please respect the fairways and greens during this wet period. Please observe all no-go areas around the greens and use varied access points across the fairways when making your way to the greens. This will help protect the course and allow it the opportunity to recover during the current inclement weather.

Our First Committee meeting of 2026 will take place on Tuesday 10th February at 8pm in the Gold Coast GAA Rooms.
