CONOR Dooney representing Davy was a clear winner of the Grant Thornton Corporate Challenge around Dublin’s Docklands on Tuesday night. His Davy team mate Ray Hynes was second. Catherina McKiernan was first woman. Of the 718 teams that entered, 417 were mixed – something for the BHAA to think about maybe?
