Youth Development Academy
Junior Captain for 2025 - Gavin Duffy
Gavin is a junior captain that is well known to all of the club membership due to his outgoing gregarious personality. In his golfing prowess he is known to be an extremely straight hitter. Hitting a wayward shot for Gavinis being slightly of the centre cut of the fairway.
Gavin is a young man with a wealth of interclub experience behind him. He has a strong record in both the junior inter club teams and incredibly also with the adult teams. With his energy and drive Gavin will bring an air of positivity to the club. His dream year would be to see Edenderry capture a junior pennant. I’m sure all in the club wish him nothing but the best in all his endeavours.
