Congratulations to our members Melissa Brady, Anna Shalvey, Frances Daly, and Josephine Brady on winning the National Masters Prize at the Mc Menamin Bowl. Competing as an Area Master team, they particularly excelled in the second session, scoring an impressive  71.09 out of a possible 80 VPs, to secure the National Masters prize.

​Cavan Bridge Club captain Sinéad McCann recently presented a cheque raised at her charity night in support of Palliative Care Cavan. She is pictured with club members ahead of their Christmas party, presenting a cheque for €3,050 to Jimmy O’Donnell of Palliative Care Cavan.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our recent charity night in aid of Palliative Care — to all who came along, those who travelled from Monaghan, Meath, Longford and right across the county, and to the many who sent donations even though they couldn’t attend. Your kindness and good humour made it a great night for a very worthy cause.

A special word of thanks to Melissa Brady and Simon Ridley, our tournament directors, for their time and expertise, and to the Cavan Crystal Hotel for their generous support and warm hospitality.

Sincere thanks also to the committee for all their hard work and organisation in making the night such a success.

We’re delighted to share that €2,000 has been raised so far, with more donations still coming in — a wonderful reflection of the generosity of our bridge community.
