A reminder that the Spiro and Coen Trophies (National Mixed Pairs and Teams Championships respectively) will take place in Templeogue on 21 and 22 October, and that entries are open online. We have one high-level (National Master) pair seeking teammates for the Coen; if anyone is in a similar position, let us know and we’ll put you in touch.

And many congratulations to Huey Daly, who was recently awarded with his Grade A Certificate, on the basis of his performance at the EBL Tournament Directors’ Workshop in Riga, Latvia. Huey thus joins Fearghal O’Boyle, Diarmuid Reddan, and John Phelan as an internationally-recognised TD – a great achievement for Ireland and a tribute to Fearghal’s unofficial mentoring programme, from which many of our TDs have benefited. Huey is seen receiving his certificate from Head Examiner Dimitris Ballas. Well done Huey!
