UPDATE: Team Moran will take on Team Goodman in the final of the Camrose Trials, as both teams came from behind after two stanzas, Moran slightly so, Goodman more significantly so, to win their semi-final match-ups.
UPDATE: Team Moran dominated the round-robin phase of the Camrose Trials, winning all seven of their matches. Unfortunately for them, there is no carry-over of any scores, so they’ll have to do it all again today, starting with a semi-final against Team O Briain. The winners of that match will face the winners of the other semi-final, between Team Coyne and Team Goodman, in the final tomorrow.
Eight teams will do battle over the long weekend in the Monument Bridge Centre, Limerick, in the Camrose trials, for the right to represent Ireland in next year’s Camrose Trophy.
