Last weekend Feb 19-21 The CBAI under 20 squad won the Peggy Bayer Trophy for Home International Teams. I don't think CBAI have ever won a junior event before. These events are usually dominated by England teams and from time to time Scotland put in a spoke.
However this year CBAI had developed a capable foursome who were quite surprised back in 2013
when the breakfast chef interrupted their 4 month old bridge game to offer some advice.
Nobody had told them about former CBAI President and very capable bridge player Commandant
Eddie Fitzgerald. Eddie has been the B&B host for several schools bridge participants including
some of the winning team above.
Conor Boland Michael Donnelly Stephen Barr and John Connolly along with NPC Thomas MacCormac another former CBAI President. Nice dicky bows lads .. as well as several dominating
performances after a sluggish start in rounds 1-4.
These lads and several others were each assigned a trials level and beyond mentor. Mentors include
Pat Quinn Gay Keavney John Phelan Thomas MacCormac Karel deRaeymaker Kelan O'Connor and I won't mention anymore just yet as I am not 100% certain. Will add more as soon as I know.
as I am not certain of my facts.
