The Magee Scratch Cup has long been a highlight on the Irish golfing calendar, offering a true test of skill, strategy, and endurance.

"We are honoured to once again host the Magee Scratch Cup, an event that not only showcases top amateur talent but also reflects the strong golfing tradition here in Donegal," said club captain Darren McDaid.

"We look forward to welcoming players and supporters for what promises to be a memorable day."

Portmarnock's Annraoi Collins will be returning to defend his title and he's looking forward to hanging on to the trophy.

"Winning the Senior Scratch Cup at Murvagh last year was a great feeling," Collins said. "It's such a brilliant course and a very tough test, so to come out on top was very rewarding.

"The course seems to get better every time I play it, and I'm looking forward to seeing the changes Paul McGinley and his team have made."
