Best of luck to the Irish Team, supplemented by one honorary Irishman, who will attempt to defend the prestigious Lederer Trophy in London over the weekend. Mark Moran, John Carroll, Tom Hanlon, Frederic Volcker, Adam Mesbur, and Nick FitzGibbon, with NPC Grainne Barton will be up against the usual top-class field, so a repeat victory with not be easy. Some of the matches will be shown on the BBO Vu-Graph facility, so you should have a chance to watch our team in action. Full details here.
This represents a final tune-up for the team, with Conor Boland replacing Frederic Volcker, that will represent us in the second Camrose weekend, in Northern Ireland, in a few weeks’ time, holding a narrow lead after weekend 1.
The very best of luck to the team in both competitions.
