Junior Update

Dear Bridge Players,

I just received an email from Noreen Pender (CEO to the Irish Junior).
I emailed incorrect details of the Irish Juniors Vs Rueful All-stars grudge match. This date is currently being hammered out by the respective legal teams.

Here is their agreed scheduled:

Queries they have on the boards are sent off to experts for analysis. (Who are these experts?)

Junior Activity

Played in the Limerick fund raising competition for the Women.
They are having a weekend of coaching this coming weekend. They each have been paired off with an expert “mentor”.
Some of the team are playing in July in the European pairs.
They are going to Brighton to play in the swiss teams.
They hope to get to Bangor (end July) and Derry (mid Sept).
They can be spotted playing in the Bankers, the Regent and some clubs in Kilkenny.

Finally they want to thank the bridge community for the tremendous support.

Another Email
I also received an email from a BBO monitor. This concerned citizen counted the number of hands each of the juniors played on BBO in the last month.

Here are the findings:
David Synnott : 58 hands in the last month (none outside the organised training)
Jamie Martin : the same 58 hands
eofiachain : 96 hands in a month
bsharkey : 243 hands in a month
eman : 55 hands in a month
gateway : 104 hands in a month

In fairness, this does not count the number of kibitzed hands. However, many would agree that more activity is required.

Have a good game,
Rueful Rabbit
