The new tournament in the Haven Hotel in Dunmore East on Sat 12th and Sun 13th of February 2022, organised by Eoin Jackson, went down a treat.
There were 13 games played (with an early finish on the Saturday afternoon to watch the rugby!) and it was wonderful to meet up again with old friends and see some new faces as well. It was a beautiful location right beside the sea, and if the weather had been kinder to us there would have been some lovely beach walks.
All the stats from the game are now available, for those who like to analyse the figures.

The winners were as follows:
Highest ‘newbie’: Brian Dillon (6 wins, spread of +119)
