Massey Bros League |
The Massey Bros. League is a CBAI - Eastern Region inter-club teams' league sponsored by Massey Bros., Funeral Directors. Massey Bros. are located across the road from us here in the Wishing Well.
The objects of the league are to promote the playing of team bridge and to encourage inter-club competition. This year we have three teams in the Intermediate section of the league and the first session will take place next Sunday 3rd November in the Mount Merrion Community Centre. Currently Mick Stuart's team of Mick, Yvonne Corrigan, Bairbre Ennis and Marie Fitzgerald hold the Intermediate B winners title. They are pictured here receiving their trophy from Eastern Region President Maura Kavanagh. Marie is now an A grade player so Rita O'Sullivan has joined the team and they will be competing to retain their title. They'll be facing stiff opposition from the six other teams in their section. Eileen Brazil and Eilis Drum are the two captains of our other teams. They will be playing in an 8 team section so will have to meet each other at some stage!
We wish the very best of luck to all our teams in the competition and hope they enjoy the events.
