Congratulations to Grainne Barton’s Team (Tom Hanlon, Hugh McGann, John Carroll, Tommy Garvey, Rory Boland, Mark Moran) – the winners of this year’s Irish Bridge Union Open Trials – and who will now represent Ireland in the European Championships next June. Many congratulations also to the runners-up (Ciaran Coyne, Peter Goodman, Gay Keaveney, Enda Glynn, Derek O’Gorman & Terry Walsh) who were just beaten at the final hurdle – a truly magnificent final. Well done to all. Pictured above the winning team being presented with the Pat Walshe Trophy.
