A TEAM of 10 golfers, all of whom revived their sporting careers after major organ transplantations, this weekend retained a major golf title in Scotland.
All members of the Irish team have received a new heart, lung, kidney or liver, and view their involvement in transplant sports as “a celebration of life”.
The Irish team defeated England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland at Dundonald to retain the title they won last year in Northern Ireland.
The Irish team comprised: Hugo Boyce (Donegal), Garry Campbell (Wicklow), John Casey (Dublin), Frank Doyle (Wexford), Mick Dwyer (Dublin), Deirdre Faul (Dublin), Tony Gavigan (Meath), Eoin Hurley (Waterford), Marie O’Connor (Clare), and Philip Kavanagh (Wicklow).
