Legendary Armagh captain Steven McDonnell got involved with a completely different club this week when he officially launched the Barry Malone Memorial Golf Classic.

The event is being organised by St Killian’s GAC, Whitecross and will take place at Ashfield Golf Club Cullyhanna on Saturday, June the 15th.
With Armagh’s Ulster Championship clash against Cavan on this Sunday at 2pm, McDonnell insisted he will be resisting the urge to return to the Orchard jersey but instead will be focusing on improving his handicap on the golf course.
Barry was a key member of the Whitecross football club who tragically died in October 2012 and the Golf Classic will be held in his memory.
It is a four-ball competition and £30 per player or £120 per team, and £50 to sponsor a tee-box, with 50 per cent of the proceeds going to the St Killian’s club and the other 50 per cent going to the Whitecross Community Association.
Golfers and none golfers are welcome to attend Barry’s Memorial Day in what should be a fitting tribute.
