Railway Union Teams Competition

The inaugural Railway Union Teams Competition took place over two sessions in May and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who participated, some of whom never having played or scored a team match before! It was so sucessful that it will now be added to the annual club calendar of competitions.

A lovely trophy has been donated to the club by Fiona O'Gorman for this competition and was presented to this year's winners at the Summer bridge party on June 13th.

Congratulations to the winners who were Caroline Crowley, Mary Kane, Bernie O'Donell and Aine Ni Chaoimh.

Congratulations to Cassandra Byrne and Michelle Moloney, who fresh from their sucess at the recent Easter competition headed to Wexford  to play in the National Novice Pairs and finished a fantastic 2nd overall.
