Hi All,

Today, I’m reporting on the exploits of our top flight bridge players.

Kinder and Hugh have been near top spots in England for the last two weekends.

Spring 4’s
Ganlon (for want of a better shortening) were playing on team Gillis(2nd seed) and were eventually knocked out by Allfred in the Semi final. Most of the top seeds were bolstered by professional with the exception of the eventual winners Jagger (I think? Otherwise, let me know)

Carvey (John Carroll & Tommy Garvey) were engaged by team Mossop(8th seed) who were knocked out in Round 3.

BBO had very curtailed coverage due to a power cut at the venue.

Crockfords
Ganlon and Carvey played on Team Hackett in the Crockfords finals finishing 4th out of 8.

In summation, the lads were disappointed with the outcomes as you’d expect .

The real test will come on the 14th June when Team Ireland start the European Champs in Pau on the 14th June. The team is the same as the Bermuda Bowl/Europeans ’06.

John Carroll – Tommy Garvey

We all wish the very best. I hope Jacko will keep me posted on news/upcoming matches on BBO.

I’m delighted to say BBO is increasingly awash with Irish players of all grades so the message to the rest of you is come join the fun.

Carrot club is the foundation of 2 of our open pairs on the team. If you fancy trying it out, I’ll
