Garryduff Sports Centre is well-known throughout Cork as a hive of activity and community life.  A Cork home for hockey, badminton, tennis, bowls (indoor and outdoor), pitch and putt, as well as the clubhouse and children’s sports camps, the Club held its AGM and elections earlier this week. Mr Trevor Dunne was re-elected as President of the Club for the coming year.

With Bishop Colton following the 2018 AGM were the Club officers (l-r) Stephanie Flack (Honorary Treasurer), Trevor Dunne (President) and Louise Jermyn (Honorary Secretary)

The Club is owned by a body with the acronym ICICYMA – Incorporated Church of Ireland Cork Young Men’s Association – of which the patron is the Church of Ireland Bishop of Cork, Dr Paul Colton.

Following this year’s elections were (l-r) John Jermyn (Trustee), Trevor Dunne (President), Dr Paul Colton (Patron) and Roger Flack (Trustee). The third club Trustee is Sybil Fuller.

Founded in the 19th Century and based at the Gregg Hall on the South Mall, the club relocated to Garryduff in 1969.
