Congratulations to Gilda Pender and Hilary McDonagh who are the first pair to reach the magic 130 VP quota in just 10 rounds and qualify for the top 8 group. They have just been followed over the line in round 11 by Teresa Rigney and Joan Kenny and also by Ann O’Connell and Valerie Burke-Moran. Louise Mitchell and Maureen Pattinson along with Jean Kelly and Betty Cotter, Emer Joyce and Kathleen Vaughan , join the list of qualifiers after round 12. That leaves just two places to fill in the last round! Those two places go to Dolores Gilliland and Lucy Phelan and to Cathy Bearpark and LizAnn O’Reilly. Well done to all.
14 of our top women’s pairs have entered for this weekends trials to select two teams to represent us in the Lady Milne International Championships next April. Being the host country, Ireland gets to select two teams (3 pairs on each team) – one to represent Ireland and the other to represent CBAI. This weekends trials will qualify the top 8 pairs to form a squad. By December 31st these 8 pairs will be divided into two teams of 3 pairs and two reserve pair.
To qualify for this exclusive top 8 bracket, the ladies just need to score 130 VP over the weekend. They can do this the easy way by scoring 10 VP in each of their 13 matches or they can do it the hard way by losing their first 12 matches 9-11 and then scoring a maximum 20 in their last match. The choice is theirs. The 14 pairs entered are:
1. Jeannie Fitzgerald & Frances Kelly 8. Liz Taaffe & Bernie Lodewijks
2. Antoinette McGee & Aoife MacHale 9. Ann O’Connell & Valerie Burke-Moran
3. Gilda Pender & Hilary McDonagh 10. Cathy Bearpark & LizAnn O’Reilly
