Congratulations to the following players on their recent successes:

Northern Ireland hosted the 1^st weekend of the Camrose Trophy 2023.
At our dinner on the Sunday evening, I had the opportunity to thank many people for making this event a phenomenal success. My email account has been flooded today with so many ‘thank you/appreciative’ emails from Team Captains and players.

It is so, so important for me to relate my Thank You comments from the Sunday evening banquet:
Anne (Hassan) – for co-ordinating accommodation with all teams, banquet dinner – table flowers, personalised menus and country flags. Most importantly timing Tea/Coffee/Water for all players.
Liz (Scott) for organising ‘live’ broadcasting of all matches for the weekend, Her team included Heather Hill, Sandie Millership, Anne Fitzpatrick, Ken Hammond, Paul Porteous, Dermot O’Brien, Harold Curran, Brian Mullan and Joan Baird.
Ferghal – for being an amazing TD.
Alan Hill – for being Feaghal’s assistant for the weekend.
Shireen and Andy from RealBridge for providing assistance with the broadcasting of all matches.
