Several current and former members of the Tribes Bridge Club helped Connacht to what looked at one stage like a most improbable win in the recent IBU Inter-Provincial Teams Championship (Open Series). At the end of play on Saturday Munster were on 235.29VPs whilest Conancht were in 2nd place on 196.43VPs.

On Sunday afternoon, at the end of Round 8 of 9, Munster were on 288.97 and Connacht were snapping at their heels with a score of 283.27. After the 9th Round, which featured direct matches between Connacht and Munster, the final scoreboard read: Conancht 316.80 with Munster in 2nd place on 315.44. 

Phew!  

The three Connacht teams featured several current members of the Tribes Bridge Club: Henry Curran, Eddie Fitzgerald, Enda Glynn, Sean Glynn, Seamus MacMathuna, Paul Scannell and David Walsh. Also representing Conancht were former members of the Tribes Bridge Club: Ciaran Coyne, Joan Kenny, Michael MacDonagh, Louise Mitchell. Also on the team was Joan's partner, Hilary McDonagh,

Paul J Scannell,  4th October 2025

Maura was a lifetime member of the Galway Bridge Centre and played regularly on at least three nights each week.

She was a member of the Galway Bridge Club, the Grattan Bridge Club, and the Tribes Bridge club and played with a variety of partners. She regularly featured in the winner’s enclosure in all three clubs.

Maura was a titan of the Galway and Western Region bridge communities and together with Maureen Ryder, her regular partner in the early years, she racked up numerous victories.

She also filled the role of Treasurer of the Galway Bridge Congress for several years during the period when the Congress was run by the Galway Bridge Club.

At national level she won the Burke Trophy (IBU Inter-County Championship) in 1995 with partner Seamus MacMathuna and teammates Michael & Marlene O’Connor.

She was also a regular member of Connacht Inter-Provincial teams in the 1980s and 1990s including Connacht’s first ever win in 1982.  She participated in seven Connacht teams that won the Inter-Provincial Trophy in the period 1982-2002.

Together with regular partner Seamus MacMathuna, she played on the Club team for Ireland in An Corn Cairdis (the annual International Friendly series against England) in 1996 in Bradford and the 1997 match in Galway.

She also competed in the Irish Ladies Trials with Maureen Ryder.

Maura was one of those rarities… a natural born card-player who had an innate feel for the play of the cards which made her an excellent declarer player and a formidable opponent.

But much and all as she loved her game of bridge she was first and foremost a wife, mother, and grandmother. Maura was a lovely lady and it showed whether at the bridge table or away from it. Lucky are those of us who knew her. She will be missed.

We offer our sympathies to the extended O'Farrell and O'Flaherty families.

Paul J Scannell, 3rd June 2025

It is with much sadness that we advise members of the recent passing of Una Walsh, Una was a colossus in the context of bridge, not just in Galway, or the Western Region, but throughout the length and breadth of Ireland. She was a regular supporter of several local clubs in Galway city but it is her role as an administrator of the game for which she will be best remembered. She served as Hon. Secretary of the Western Region from the early 1970s until her appointment as Hon Sec. of the Contract Bridge Association of Ireland in 1991, a position she held until 2002. She also served at national level as President of the CBAI 1978-79 and President of the Irish Bridge Union in 1979-80.

As Hon. Secretary of the Western Region she worked selflessly and tirelessly to encourage clubs to join and she also promoted participation in Regional competitions. 

At the table she was always courteous to partners and opponents alike. 

Una especially looked out for the interest of novices and intermediates. She also lent her efforts to promoting bridge in local schools.

Una was a strong supporter of the campaign that saw the development of the Galway Bridge Centre, it's existence today being evidence of her efforts and those of others that travelled the same journey.

She also took over the editorial duties of the Irish Bridge Journal when her brother Paddy passed away.  Together the published the IBJ for approximately forty years. It was a labour of love for both of them.

In respect of the administration of the game, be it at club, regional, or national level, Una was fearless, and with her a spade was always a spade...and not a club, a diamond, a heart, or even a no-trump! She always spoke her mind and said her piece. Differences with others never lingered.

Truly it can be said...she was one of a kind.

It is with much sadness that we advise of the recent passing of Tom Monahan a regular presence at the Galway Bridge Centre where his genial and pleasant manner coupled with that welcoming small and a head full of funny stories/anecdotes entertained all who met him. Pictured here with Kay Scarry, his regular partner on Monday nights at the RTC Bridge Club.

Tom passed away on 24th July and the funeral was held on 26th July.

Paul J Scannell, 28th July 2024

It is with much sadness that we report the passing of Eileen Murphy, a long-time member of the Galway Bridge Centre Club. Eileen together with her late husband Paddy, was a popular member of several Galway bridge clubs including The Grattan, The Galway Bridge Club, The Tribes Bridge Club. She always sported a cheerful smile with which she disarmed all who met her. 

She played regularly until recent years and enjoyed a couple of regular partnerships. In the early years she played with Breege Duffy while their respective husbands (both named Paddy) also enjoyed a regular partnership which was sometimes referred to as 'The 2 Paddys'.

After Breege, passed away Eileen embarked on a partnership with Kay Heskin. Together with Paddy, the three could often be found enjoying a little tipple in the bar after the weekly game.

Eileen's legacy will be her fun personality and good humour.    

Memorably she was a member of the Galway squad that won the Ballina Congress T/4 in 1980 (see photo from cover of the October 1980 issue of the Irish Bridge Journal)

Paul J Scannell, amended 30th January 2022

It is with much sadness that we learned of the recent passing of Brian Place, a regular and popular player in the Galway, and wider, bridge-playing communities. Brian hailed from Eastbourne and graduated as a Chemist initially working in the Pharmaceutical Industry with GSK and Pfizer before crossing the Irish Sea and taking up the position of Head of Science at the newly opened Galway RTC in 1972 where he remained until his retirement. Brian was also a founder member of the RTC Bridge Club which used to meet in the Corrib Great Southern Hotel. In the early days he played with his then wife Susan. In later years he established a regular partnership with his daughter Fiona. With the advent of Covid-19 Brian played regularly online under his BBO name Avogadro1. [I have often thought of the BBO pseudonym that Brian chose and wondered if it was related to Amadeo Avogadro (1786-1856), the Italian scientist who, according to Wikipedia, was 'most noted for his contribution to molecular theory now known as Avogadro's law, which states that equal volumes of gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure will contain equal numbers of molecule.' It strikes me as an appropriate choice of BBO pseudonym by an erudite man who also had a wonderful, even sometimes wicked, sense of humour, who was simply taking the opportunity to pay homage to his scientific background!  And was Brian piqued, but pleased, that an Australian bridge player had beaten him to the use of Avogadro in 2007 leaving Brian to append '1' for his choice of BBO pseudonym when he first joined the BBO bridge army in 2020.]

In addition to playing regularly, Brian also gave bridge lessons in Claregalway where he introduced his daughter Fiona, amongst many others, to the game. Photo below shows Brian in full flow with Fiona in the forefront listening attentively!

Brian of course was an absolute 'charmer' in the fine old tradtional sense of the word. Gentlemanly and courtoeus to an extreme, he always had a pleasant word for partners and opponents alike. And as a BBO TD, I became used to receiving, without fail, a private 'Thank You' from Brian towards the end of each online session. But not for Brian a simple 'Thank You'....he always expressed himself in lengthier sentences of a more flattering, but genuine, nature.

Our sympathy to Fiona and the extended Place family in particular his wife Annette and former wife Susan.

May he Rest in Peace.

The Irish team consisiting of five Connacht players (Gay Keaveney, Enda Glynn, David Walsh, Ciaran Coyne, Donal MacAonghusa) and Peter Pigot (Dublin) suffered an agonisingly close loss of 1 Imp over a match of 64 boards. Cruel. The final stanza saw the scores for the eighth boards tied at 24 imps apiece and so the English squad go through to the semi-final stage on the basis of the 1 imp lead that they carried into the last stanza!

But well done to the Irish squad for getting so far in what is Great Britain's premier T/4 competition.

Paul J Scannell, 16th September 2021

It is with much sadness that we report the death of Brendan King who passed away yesterday evening after a brave fight with cancer that had plagued him for several years. Brendan joined The Tribes in the early 1990s and forged a bridge partnership and friendship with Roddy Wyer. Work commitments took Brendan away from Ireland for several years but the pair resumed their bridge partnership when Brendan returned to Ireland in the early 2000s. Brendan was elected Secretary of the club for the 2019-2020 season, a position that he conscientiously filled until ill health forced him to step down in late 2020 wherupon his good friend Roddy stepped into the breach.

Brendan enjoyed his bridge and was a competent player. In the 1993-1994 season he won the Geraldine O'Flynn Trophy in partnership with Roddy and teammates, the late Hugh O'Neill & John Stack.

Brendan & Roddy also won the club's Corn na dTreabh Trophy in the 2017-2018 season. 

Brendan's bridge was not confined to the Tribes Bridge Club and he formed a sucesssful partnership with Fiona Place with whom he played regularly on Wednesday evenings in the Galway Bridge Club. They also competed in regional events and at congresses around the country.

But, for those who knew him, Brendan will be remembered not so much for his exploits at the bridge table but rather for his gentle and friendly manner together with warm smile and genial disposition to all he met both at the table and away from it. Brendan was both a gentleman and a gentle man.

We extend our sympathies to his wife Angie, daughters Sarah and Fiona, and the extended family.

It is with much sadness that we report the recent passing of Mary Burke (Renmore).

Mary was a member of a number of Galway bridge clubs and regularly played several nights a week in the Galway Bridge Centre where she more than held her own at the bridge table. But Mary will be rememerbed for more than her prowess at the bridge! Her warm personality and genial manner endeared her to partners and opponents alike. Mary always had a greeting for all and a awarm smile perpetually creased her face. She will be missed by all who knew her, including regular partners Anne McElwaine and Marcella Mitchell, and especially Margaret Walsh with whom she enjoyed a long-standing partnership over 35 years during which time they played in Galway and at congresses all around the country and even occasional trips abroad!

The Galway Bridge Centre and its members extend sympathy to her children, Pat, John, Wynn, Karen, Maria, and the extended family.

It is with much sadness that we report the recent passing of Freda Flavin, a long time-supporter of the Galway Bridge Centre. Freda was a founder-member of the Tribes Bridge Club back in 1971 and played regularly in the club until the 1985-86 season. She also played in several other clubs and all with whom she inter-acted, both at the table and away from it, were unanimous in their appraisal of Freda as a polite and gracious lady, always with a hospitable greeting and a warm smile for partner and opponents alike.  Her loss to the bridge commuinty in Galway will be felt by all who knew her.  Deepest sysmpathy to her extended family.

It is with much sadness that we report the recent passing of Patrick J (Paddy) Murphy, long-time member of several Galway City Bridge Clubs over many years. 

Paddy was a core element of the Galway Bridge community for a very long time. He loved the game and was an active member of several city clubs including Grattan, Galway, Tribes.

Undoubtedly one of his most famous successes took place at the 1980 Ballina Congress when Paddy captained his three female team-mates to victory in the Congress Team of Four Championship. The October issue of the Irish Bridge Journal featured a lovely photo of the winners on the front cover...

.  

Paddy was not only a bridge player but also an active supporter of the various clubs of which he was a member. He was a regular attender at President's Dinners and Christmas Parties organised by the various clubs.

Paddy was also a founder member of the Action Committee that that brought about the purchase of the Galway Bridge Centre. He was a former Chairperson of Galway Bridge Centre Ltd. 

But most of all Paddy was an exmeplary member. His gentle nature, gentlmanly manner, happy smile, warm and cheerful greeting, will be what he will be most remembered for by the many who had the good fortune to sit at his table. And for some he occasionally shared a joke or funny story. He never uttered a cross word to partner although he was quick to criticise himself for any shortcomings in his own bidding, play or defense.

Truly it can be said that he was one of a kind.

We extend our sympathies to his wife Eileen and children Evelyn, Mary, Brenda, Philip.

May he Rest In Peace.

Mind yourselves.

The Galway Bridge Congress Committee apologises for the inconvenience this decision may cause but deems it the prudent option in the interest of the health and safety of the many bridge players from all corners of Ireland, and abroad, who have regularly supported this popular congress.

The next Galway Bridge Congress will take place at Easter 2021 when we hope to meet once again at the Ardilaun Hotel.
