Pop Ryle
The 2020 edition of the Pop Ryle Multicard was even more of a success than the previous iteration in 2019. The Pop Ryle was the first competition of the year in the club and over the course of the week, we had 40 players play more than 300 cards in the competition. In the end, it was 2019 Champion Pa Fitzgibbon who took the trophy home for the second year running with a Nett total of -34. Keith O’Brien finished in 2nd Nett with a total of -32. Jason Cregan took the Gross Prize with -21. Alan Hobbart pipped Eamonn to 2nd place with a better back 18 as both players tied on -18.

Different conditions to normal for the Scratch Cup with a new format being used across the country. Timesheets were introduced and no final rounds were permitted. Despite the strange circumstances, it was nearly another clean sweep for Tralee, but Paul O’Shea (now Intermediate) was beaten on Back 18 by Listowel’s Killian O’Gorman for the Intermediate Scratch Cup. Brian Moynihan’s superb -9 early in the morning was enough to hold on all day and saw him take the Junior Scratch Cup by 3 shots. In Senior, Jason Cregan held the lead for much of the day on -12 before Eamonn Sheehy came in late in the evening with a -16 total to take the Bob Casey Memorial Scratch Cup.
