September 2021 Results

Fearghal O'Boyle

After nearly 30 years as Chief Executive of the CBAI, the young Fermanagh lad, Paul Porteous is enjoying his first week of retirement.  A Master Bridge player, an incredible organiser, an efficient administrator, a great communicator, a patient caring listener and throw in a good sense of humour and an affable personality and you have the successful ingredients to help us understand how one man was able to steer the second biggest association in the country (after the GAA) along a unified and steady path.

It has been said that he knows all 24000 of us by name and we can well believe it.  We say ‘Thank You Paul’ for your outstanding and generous service to Bridge in Ireland over the last 30 years and we can think of many players, tournament directors, club secretaries and regional secretaries that Paul has helped over the years with his encouragement and calmness when faced with ‘delicate’ situations.  Paul knew what we were thinking before the thought even entered our minds so he knew when to be ‘good cop’ and when to be ‘bad cop’.

Irish Bridge – North, South, East and West is certainly in a better place now than it was 30 years ago – we have a better standard of player, we have well trained tournament directors, we have a great Teaching and Youth program, we have a great communication structure – and without doubt Paul Porteous has been the driving force behind these and other progressive ideas – often involving untold hours of work above and beyond the call of duty.  His many talents have also been noticed by our European friends where he is currently the Secretary of the European Bridge League.

We wish Paul, Maureen and all the Porteous family many years of Happy Retirement – Well Deserved Sir – and we wish your successor Dermot O’Brien the best of luck – Dermot is fully aware that he has a hard act to follow.

Pat Kilfeather RIP

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of one of Sligo’s most loved and accomplished Bridge players – Pat Kilfeather.  Pat was actively involved in bridge at all levels, as a player, an administrator, club captain and even President of the North West Region. Despite raising a family of 6 children, and the resulting 15 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren, she still found time for Bridge and even managed to attract some of her children and extended family to follow in her footsteps.  If there was ever a need for a great advertisement about the long term benefits of playing bridge then we need look no further than Pat Kilfeather.

Pat loved her Bridge and as a Master player she played in every corner of Ireland (North and South) as well as travelling abroad for a game or two. She had that rare mixture of personable qualities that showed us that you could be brilliant at the game while still having fun and more importantly making sure that your opponents enjoyed their game too – so even though we lost, we came away from her table feeling better than when we arrived.  She was always keen to share her knowledge and was especially encouraging and helpful to newer members.  It didn’t hurt her game, that she knew a thing or two about Poker.  Bridge in Sligo owes a great debt to the patronage of our Sligo Doyenne. Thank you Pat.

Pat Kilfeather was also the last surviving founding member of the very successful Yeats Country Bridge Congress back in 1960.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Bryan, Neal, Patricia (Henry), Andy, Roy and Gary and also to Marguerite, Mary, to her son-in-law, daughters-in-law, fourteen grandchildren, twenty five great-grandchildren, relatives, neighbours and many friends.

Message from CBAI President (Neil Burke) 

“Welcome to all and thank you for your support.  It has been a remarkably interesting two years as your President. The main thing is we are getting through this Pandemic and although we have a way to go there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
We must thank and pay tribute to those who kept bridge going at a very bleak time. We are playing this weekend because of the hard work and dedication of our TD’s all over the country. But we must recognise the team here at the Yeats Country Congress, who started the drive to keep Bridge going. We thank Mairead Basquille, Huey Daly, Diarmuid Reddan and Fearghal O’Boyle for their contribution and dedication over the past 2 yrs. Good Luck to all and enjoy the weekend.”
