Sponsored by The Hendrick Hotel and Johnson Hana, the event takes place from July 12-13, with 72 players set to tee it up.
There will be shotgun starts at 8.30 am and 2.30 pm on Saturday, 12 July, with the top 30—the top 15 men and top 15 women —qualifying for the final 18 holes on Sunday, 13 July.
The €60 entry fee includes lunch on Saturday and soup and sandwiches after the final round on Sunday.
There is a prize fund worth €3,400 but with WAGR points on offer for both men and women and Women’s Order off Merit points —the highest available alongside the Ulster Stroke-Play and the Woodbrook Scratch Cup — a top field is expected to tee it up.
In 2023, Edmondstown’s Ana Abom and Castle’s Robert Moran were crowned champions, while last year, Clandeboye’s Jessica Ross and Dun Laoghaire’s Alan Fahy took the spoils.
