PICTURES: Roscrea Golf Classic raises huge sum for Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust

The KBRT Golf Classic in memory of David Talbot took place at Roscrea Golf Club and proved to be a tremendous success, raising €15,000 for the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust.

A fantastic field of 52 teams took to the course, while an incredible 160 tee box sponsors, along with generous support from local businesses, volunteers and the wider community, helped make the event such a memorable occasion.

The Talbot family and friends committee would like to extend their sincere thanks to Roscrea Golf Club, all of their sponsors, volunteers, golfers and everyone who donated prizes or supported the event in any way.

The generosity shown throughout the campaign and on the day itself was truly overwhelming, the organisers told the Tribune.

The event marked ten years since David’s passing and celebrated his life while raising vital funds for the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust, whose work helps reunite Irish families by bringing their loved ones home from abroad.
