EDDIE FITZGERALD (Comdt retired) RIP
We are deeply sorry to hear of the passing of one of the great ‘characters’ of Irish Bridge Eddie Fitzgerald – our very own version of an ‘Officer and a Gentleman’ and a former President of the CBAI (1994).  Eddie was one of the very few ‘top’ players who made time to talk to us lesser mortals and more importantly knew how to speak ‘our’ language.  We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Helen. his daughter Clodagh and his sons Stuart and Ed.  Click here to read Paul Scannell’s moving tribute from the Tribes Bridge Club (Galway).

Marguerite Kilfeather RIP

Marguerite Kilfeather RIP
The Bridge community in Sligo and across the country is still numb after hearing the shocking and upsetting news that our friend Marguerite Kilfeather passed away as a result of a tragic accident.  Marguerite was known the length and breadth of the country having travelled to support congresses all over Ireland and abroad.

As well as being a Master Bridge player, Marguerite was also a past Captain of all the Sligo Bridge clubs and a Past President of the Yeats Country Bridge Congress.
Marguerite was without doubt one of the very few players to have a natural flair and imagination for the game and couple that with her sense of humour and her elegant fashion sense and you really have ‘one of a kind’.

We remember with admiration and trepidation her most successful partnership with her mother-in-law (Pat Kilfeather, who passed away only a few months ago.)  This formidable pair would charm their opponents before taking them to the cleaners.  Marguerite’s untimely passing is inexplicable – Maybe Pat has come across some tough opponents in Heaven and has asked God to send up some decent reinforcements.

We extend our deepest heartfelt sympathies to her husband Bryan, her daughters, Joy, Andrea and Marguerite, her son Drew, her extended family and her wide circle of friends.  Marguerite may you Rest in Peace.

Reposing at Mc Geoughs Funeral Home, Jocelyn Street, A91 XW66.  Removal on Thursday Morning from his home, to St Fursey’s Church, Haggardstown arriving for Mass at 11am. Burial afterwards in adjoining Cemetery. The Mass can be viewed on www.churchservices.tv/haggardstown

Tom Hanlon (Champion of France – yet again)
Tom Hanlon French Champion 2022
Our own Tom Hanlon and his international team-mates (Zaleski, Lorenzini, Volcker, Cronier and Bessis) have just defended their French Premier League title by beating the powerful Zimmerman team in the final coming from behind to win by 38 imps.  The League involved 3 x weekend of live qualifiers in October and November followed by a 64 board semifinal and a 96 board final last weekend and all live (face to face) at french bridge federation headquarters – well done Tom.

Mary Cleary RIP

Mary Cleary RIP

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of one of our nicest and greatest Sligo Players – Mary Cleary.  Mary was always a pleasure to meet at the Bridge table either as a partner or as an opponent and in her heyday Mary was unbeatable no matter who she played with.  Thankfully she handed the baton on by training her sister Eileen Keaney and her niece Anne-Marie Keaney.

We extend our deepest sympathies to her husband P.J. and her children Siobhán, Senan, Eimear and Fionnuala and her sister Eileen Keaney and her niece Anne-Marie Keaney and her brother Tom Gilligan, her daughter-in-law Rose, sons-in-law Maurice, Sean and David, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, grandchildren Muiris, Oisin, Ferdia, Naoise, Tadhg, Liam, Aoibh, Aifric, Caoimhe and Cillian, nieces, nephews, relatives, neighbours and friends.
