Steve Bearpark and Brendan Curran will represent Ireland in the Senior Camrose along with antepost favourites Michael and Padraig O'Briain and the imp collecting David Jackson and Tom Gibson. See www.fob.ie for all details of the senior Camrose ..
Well done to Steve and Brendan .. I think this is there first international cap. Well done to the other two pairs also but they have circled this block before.
I heard one match was played in the dark as there was a powercut in Templogue ..or maybe Martin Keane was missing and he had the keys for the light switch .. Martin is always around looking after the little things and big things in Templogue Bridge Centre.
Visitors to Templogue for National competitions and Trials etc should remember this is a venue belonging to 5 local clubs(I think) and needs to be left in a tidy condition ready for the normal club games. Often I see bidding boxes left thrown on the floor or half the cards out on the table.
Luckily there is a budding Martin Keane around in Jonathan Mathers who gets the place shipshape after CBAI events. We need to be aware of all the people who tidy up after bridge events all around the country and help them as non-club events need clubs to lend them their premises.
Out in Malahide we will run the Schools Pairs in December .. A small issue of the Xmas Party the night before was no problem for Malahide .. "We will just get the cleaners in at 8am .." they said .
Ireland Imp Pairs tonight at 9pm
