Interpro Player names

Open Interpros

Leinster should win with Connacht 2nd and Munster 3rd.
The Ulster Team will struggle.

Mind you one of the Munster teams is fielding the mercurial Kelan O'Connor but it is a 6 person team so Kelan may not get much table time. However maybe Kelan will tog out for one of the other Munster teams if someone slept in on a Sunday morning.

The Leinster Area Master team is powered by the experiencd Brid Galligan partnered by the reluctant bridge player Sean Galligan.

Meanwhile the BBO challenges continue .. Galligan took on some NIBU Camrose players and despite a horrendous 7D going down 4 to lose 13 imps ...Galligan emerged with plus 9 imps.
Two players are yet to complete this challenge. A short video of the final 5 boards is placed below
