After Sligo Congress last weekend, we saw another congress make a triumphant return to the live calendar this weekend, the Killarney Congress, in a lovely new venue in the Castlerosse Hotel. The turnout was excellent, and it was particularly pleasing to see so many of the overseas visitors who used to frequent the “old” Killarney Congress return for the new version. Hopefully, the congress will shortly be confirmed again for next season. The prizewinners were:
- Gala Pairs: Michael O’Shea & Joe Higgins
- Congress Pairs: Raymond Semp & Gary Hyett
- Congress Teams: Gwynn Davis, Sue Ingham, Tom McCarthy, Angus Simpson
- Novice Pairs (various): Tom McCarthy & Linda O’Keeffe; Michael McHugh & Eithne Coffey; Margaret O’Sullivan & Anne Wrenn
- Open Pairs (various): Clancy Treacy & Anne O’Riordan; Joe Meagher & Anne Cronin
- Full results
Well done and many thanks to all the organisers – Congress President Ciarán Broadbery and his team, and TD Diarmuid Reddan, who did his usual excellent job.
