The weekend of 18-19 April sees the Lady Milne Trophy (Women’s Home International Championship) being hosted by Northern Ireland in Belfast. It is hoped that the matches will be broadcast, with a short delay, on RealBridge.
You’ll find full details of the event, including pen pictures of all the players, the match schedule, and a history of the event in this booklet: Lady Milne Programme 2026. Ireland has never won the Lady Milne, but we are hoping this may be the year that we break our duck! So good luck to Hilary (D-L) McDonagh, Ann-Marie Horan, Rebecca O’Keeffe, Gilda Pender, Joan Kenny, Jeannie Fitzgerald, and NPC Paul Porteous. Our own Fearghal O’Boyle will be in the TD’s seat, ably assisted as always by Mairead Basquille.
Here is the link to watch the vugraph on RealBridge, and you’ll find system cards for all the pairings on the BGB website, while the live results will be available here.
