JULY/AUGUST
Swan Rock Quarries sponsors of St. Joseph's Golf teams
St. Joseph's Golf teams were delighted to receive new golf shirts sponsored by Swan Rock Quarries. The Golf teams have had a very successful year reaching the semi-finals of the prestigious 'Darren Clarke Schools Golf League'. Despite a narrow 4-3 defeat against a strong St. Patrick's Dungannon team, the boys from St. Joseph's should be proud of their efforts this year. Reaching the semi final stage in a competition with over 60 schools from N. Ireland involved is a great achievement. Many thanks to our sponsor Gerard Rowland of Swan Rock Quarries whose generosity helped in the purchase of the new team golf shirts.
