The IBU Interprovincial Championships were held over the weekend of 19/20 November in the Templeogue Bridge Centre, back live for the first time since 2019.
In the Open Section, a very strong Leinster team (Tom Hanlon, John Carroll, Peter Goodman, Nick FitzGibbon, Adam Mesbur, Terry Walsh, BJ O’Brien, Karel De Raeymaeker, Conor Boland, Marcin Rudzinski, Wojciech Gorcyzca, Tomás Roche, and PC Paul Delaney) had a very convincing trap-to-line victory. The same province also had a comfortable win in the Area Master Section (Adrienne Purdy, Martin Purdy, Eimir Beirne, Eamon Martin Jnr, Sue Power, Colette Stokes, Elizabeth O’Reilly, Helen O’Reilly, Sean Galligan, Brid Galligan, Marie James, and Fiona O’Gorman). The Intermediate Section was more closely contested, with Ulster (Geraldine McNamee, Michael McNamee, Christine Stewart, Judy Young, Eric Butterwick, Bill McCormick, Robert Caves, Diana Patterson, George Harper, John Forsythe, Veronica Fay, Felicity O’Brien) emerging victorious.
Well done to all the winners, and thanks to our TD crew of Fearghal O’Boyle, Mairead Basquille, and Martin Brady. You’ll find the full results here.
