Soccer legend Paul McGrath recently hosted his annual Charity Golf Classic on the beautiful links course at Arklow Golf Club, Co. Wicklow, in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland (CFAI).

A number of celebrity golfers competed and supported this worthy cause including soccer greats John Giles and Ronnie Whelan; boxer Bernard Dunne; rugby star Shane Byrne and a host of other well known personalities including Brian Ormonde, Gerald Kean, Simon Delaney, Sil Fox and Steve Rainer.

All proceeds, from what promises to be a star studded event, go towards vital medical equipment needed for the Cystic Fibrosis unit in Children’s University Hospital, Temple Street, Dublin.
