Stephen Cairns RIP
Stephen Cairns, JC Boyce and Ann Cairns 2018
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our dear friend Stephen Cairns from Enniskillen.  As well as being a brilliant player, Stephen had that rare quality of being able to make his opponents feel very welcomed and relaxed at his table – one of the nicest if not ‘the nicest’ men to ever grace a bridge table.  He and his equally lovely wife Ann were great supporter of Bridge Congresses in all four corners of the country.  We will all miss his friendly affable charm and his constant good humour.  Stephen was an avid promoter of Bridge especially in Fermanagh and played an integral part in fostering excellent North-South working relations.  We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Ann (whom he credited with teaching him all he knew), his sons Adam and Keith, his extended family and wide circle of friends.  May Stephen Rest in Peace.

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).

April 2022 Results

 

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.
