Lionel Munn Trophy 2025 Round Up
Last Friday (May 16th), forty eight young 5th and 6th Class golfers from twelve local National Schools excitedly assembled outside the Kilmashogue Golf Club clubhouse on the St. Columba’s College nine hole course. Despite the organisers’ intention of this being a fun filled occasion; the positive but nervous energy was evident from both participants and parents. It was great to see young like minded people playing competitively on a sun soaked day; sharing a fun, camaraderie and competition while making new connections.
The Lionel Munn trophy goes to the two person team with the best combined nine hole better ball gross score.
This year was again closely competitive, with four representatives from Rathfarnham Parish National School scooping up the top two places. The Lionel Munn Trophy went to Max Correll and George Campbell with a combined gross score of 39 (3 over par); second place went to their classmates Matthew Gill and Jamie Mulhall with a score of 42 (6 over par). We were delighted for Max Correll, who was participating for the third time in the event.

Very well done to all participating schools and players; their parents, accompanying teachers and the well maintained and conditioned St. Columba’s golf course. Thank you also to Kilmashogue Golf Club for facilitating this competition and the use of their clubhouse facilities. The accompanying teachers and parents certainly deserve a mention as they are the ones who take on the tasks of driving, waiting around and supporting their young charges and children.
The day would not have been possible without the administrative input of Lorna Wynne. I would also like to thank all our college student academy members for guiding our visitors around the course, as well as Mr Glutz and our resident PGA professional, Josh Adams for helping make the day a relaxed but organised environment. Also, thank you to the Warden for presenting the prizes.
