Tonight we have the start of the Camrose Trophy. It will be shown live on Bridgebase Online.
Northern Ireland have two teams. This means all the bridge players of Northern Ireland apart from John Ferguson will be in action. This is because the country hosting the 2nd weekend has been granted 2 teams.
So we have some very little known bridge players hitting the vugraph this weekend.
1. Dean Bradley ...I never came across him
2. William Dukalow a player who I met a few times in the past but now known in Northern Ireland bridge circles as "The Duke"
3. The legendary Michael O'Kane from Downpatrick maybe ...I saw him in Dublin airport recently buying coffee.
4. His partner The lesser spotted Michael McFaul ...saw him once in a North South match ...not spotted him much since ...thus lesser spotted ..
5. The Unlucky Expert from Cork ..Fergie O'Shea
6. The many times used Teabag from Kerry .. Michael Coffey.
Lets go see how they are getting on ...
..............
The other teams are NIBU2 Ireland England Wales and Scotland but all those are in the subplot.
