This weekend twelve junior teams from Britain and Ireland compete in the junior home internationals in the La Mon Hotel in Belfast. The Under-26s are competing for the Junior Camrose Trophy, and the Under-21s for the Peggy Bayer Trophy.
Ireland will be represented by: Under-21s Klara Flanagan, Eve Connell, Isabel Burke, Tom Gorey, David Hoyne, Ben Orocz, NPC Margaret Murphy; Under-26s Luca Crone, Matthew O’Farrell, Denise Walsh, Leah Finnegan, Sheila Walsh, NPC John Phelan
You can find full details of the teams and the schedule here, watch the play with expert commentary (from the Junior Camrose only) on Realbridge, and follow the results here. Best of luck to the Irish teams – they are in good form with Luca Crone, Matthew O’Farrell, and Isabel Burke all finishing at the top of the rankings in last weekend’s Holmes Wilson Trophy.
The weekend also sees the inaugural World Bridge Federation Women’s Online Teams Championship, being played on RealBridge, with four Irish teams competing. Best of luck to them too!
