John Murphy & Alan O’Mahony are the first pair from Bishopstown to win the National Non-Mixed Scotch Foursomes. They are also the first pair representing a Cork club to claim the title.

For the first time in the history of the event, the winners represented a club other than that from the host county.

John Smith & Chris Cunningham are the first Cloghogue partnership to collect silver medals in the National Non-Mixed Scotch Foursomes.

John & Chris replicate the feat of clubmates Marina O’Rourke & Paul O’Hagan who were runners-up in the National Mixed Foursomes at Cloghogue in 1999.

95 points represents the second lowest second place score in the history of the tournament.

Frank Ryan & Ian Dillon are the first pair from St. Bridget’s to capture the Best Gross award in the National Non-Mixed Scotch Foursomes. 90 ties the lowest successful Best Gross aggregate (matching Ian Donnelly & Sean Clerkin’s 2019 performance).

Matthew Cunningham & Neil Hannigan will forever be known as the first partnership to claim an official third place prize at the National Non-Mixed Scotch Foursomes – 2025 is the inaugural year that such a prize was awarded.

Stephen Lynch & Paul Lynch added 1st Session honours nationally to the 2nd Session prize they picked-up at the Leinster Non-Mixed Scotch Foursomes last April.

The Rathfeigh men continued the Royal County’s excellent record in the National Non-Mixed Scotch Foursomes 1st session category. The 2019 and 2023 winners also represented Co. Meath clubs as did the 2022 second session victors.

Aidan O’Rourke finished on a national podium for the second time within a week, adding National Non-Mixed Scotch Foursomes Session 2 prize to an All-Ireland Inter-Club tournament silver medal six days earlier.

Martin Hayes is no stranger to a national podium either. He featured on the Cunnigar quartet that won the National Mixed Team Event Final on home turf in 2011.

For the second successive year, the winning score in the National Non-Mixed Scotch Foursomes was 99 points. 98.8 points is the all-time average winning score.

The victory margin in the National Non-Mixed Scotch Foursomes was four strokes, the second most comprehensive in history.

Veronica Anglim & Adrian Anglim are the third Hillview pair to win the National Mixed Foursomes (now the National Mixed Scotch Foursomes), equalling the achievement of Brid Ryan & Noel Joyce (1999) and Laura O’Hanrahan & Rory O’Hanrahan (2008).

Veronica & Adrian become the fifth Co. Tipperary twosome (and the second in the last four years) to lift the Sean Coyne Trophy. 

Josephine Tobin & Thomas Roberts are the seventh pair representing a Tipperary club to deliver a runners-up placing in the National Mixed Foursomes. They are the first Lakeside members to do so.

Josephine & Thomas improve from 1st Session winners at Larkspur Park in 2022 to claim silver medals three years on.

It was a fourth podium Scotch Foursomes finish in four years for Thomas who won a Munster Mixed Session Prize with Bridget Shelley at Bruff in 2023 before linking with Anthony Maher to top the first Session in the Non-Mixed nationally at Lakeside twelve months ago.

Tipperary provided the runners-up for the second successive year and for the sixth time in the last ten stagings of the event.

The National Mixed Foursomes was decided by the second eighteen countback rule for the eighth time and for the first time since the format was changed to Stableford.

Veronica Anglim & Adrian Anglim are the second Hillview team (after Brid Ryan & Noel Joyce) to win on the second round tiebreaker.

Veronica & Adrian have both previously won National Foursomes session prizes independently of each other (Veronica in the Mixed and Adrian in the Non-Mixed).

93 points was the National Mixed Scotch Foursomes winning aggregate for the third year in succession.

Amy Galvin & Anthony Galvin are the second Tullamore team to take Best Gross laurels in the National Mixed Foursomes (Margaret Hogan & Darren O’Connell won it twice).

Tullamore provided the Best Gross winner for the second year in a row. The same club has done that five times before but 2024/2025 represents the first time two different pairs from the same club have won Best Gross in consecutive years.

Anthony and Amy are the first father and daughter to win Best Gross in the National Mixed Foursomes.

Amy Galvin is the 13th National Ladies Matchplay champion to win Best Gross in the National Mixed Foursomes.

Catriona & Alan O’Connor are the first partnership to win an official third place prize in the National Mixed Foursomes.

Adrienne Kelly & Michael Ahern are the first Lucan pair to win a session prize at the National Mixed Foursomes since Sandra & Peter Keogh back in 2017.

Con O’Sullivan & Ciara Lowe ensured a Kerry pair won a session prize at the National Mixed Foursomes for the second year in a row, emulating the Bernadette O’Regan & Jason O’Regan success in 2024. Con and Ciara are the third Kerry pair in all to win a session prize. Lisa O’Connor & Tony Blake won in 2016.

Collinstown hosted the National Scotch Foursomes final for the first time ever.
