Nine players
attended the penultimate meeting of the season. Seven
took part in the Swiss Ladder, while two newcomers,
Cahill Murphy and Philip Morrison, played a couple of
friendlies. Good to see Davy Clegg making his first
appearance of the season. The former Northern Ireland
Champion played well but finished 6th, despite only
losing one match. It was a personal best for Nicky Moore,
who finished 2nd, while Kenny Beggs topped the table with
maximum points.

League

Eoin Adams made a
welcome comeback, playing in his first club meeting of
the season. He was unbeaten but just pipped into top spot
by Kenny Beggs, who can no longer be caught in the Championship Table

Kenny Beggs
topped the nine-player Swiss Ladder at the 6th Club
meeting of the season, one point ahead of Peter Morrison.
5th Clubnight - Farrell
Debut Triumph 23rd Feb 2009
Dublin's Mark
Farrell took the honours at the latest February Club
Meeting. In a Knockout-Cup format, he beat Peter Morrison
in the 1st Round, Stephen Rodgers in the Semi-Final and
Kenny Beggs in the Final to complete an excellent debut
at the Club. Mark made the long trip with Barbarians'
regular Southern player, Nicky Moore, who finished 4th on
the night.
Mark Farrell v Stephen Rodgers
The Club is sad to
announce the passing away of one of its members, Robbie
Donnell. Due to ill health, Robbie only made one
appearance this season. He was also a dedicated member of
the Kingsway Church. Our condolences go out to his
friends and family.
4th Clubnight - Hermon
Returns
26th Jan 2009
The January
meeting saw a good turnout of eleven players taking part
in a three-group tournament. Kenny Beggs beat Barry
Spence on shots in the Final, following a scoreless
match. Beaten semi-finalists, Nicky Moore & John
Hughes played each other in the 3rd/4th Place Play-Off,
which Nicky won 1-0.
Former Northern Ireland
Junior Champion, Neal Hermon, made an appearance. Despite
two single-goal defeats to Stephen Rodgers and Alistair
Morrison, he showed signs that he will again be a force
to be reckoned with once he has a few more games under
his belt.
Neal was National Junior
Champion in 1989 & 1990 and represented Northern
Ireland at the 1990 World Cup in Rome.

2nd Clubnight - Tournament 17th Nov 2008
Thirteen
players attended the latest Barbarians' meeting.
Continuing this season's policy of varying the format,
there was a tournament consisting of four groups. The
group winners qualified for the semi-finals, while group
runners-up played off for positions 5-8 and the rest
played off for positions 9-13.
New Season Gets Underway 6th Oct 2008
Based on the
recent Barbarians Poll , we have decided to use different
formats during the season, to add variety to Clubnights.
The first night flicked of with a six-player round-robin.
Matches were ten minutes to enable all fixtures to be
completed. Goal-difference was disregarded, with a
shoot-out being used to separate players on equal points.
John Hughes beats Alistair Morrison in shoot-out
Placings: 1st Kenny Beggs,
2nd Barry Spence, 3rd Peter Morrison, 4th Nicky Moore,
5th John Hughes, 6th Alistair Morrison. John Hughes beat
Alistair Morrison 3-1 in a shoot-out to settle 5th/6th
place.
New
Format for New Season? - You Decide ....
The next
Barbarians' Clubnight will see the start of the new
season. Format is still undecided. We are looking for
feedback from the club members whether to keep the Swiss
Ladder system, change to another format or have a variety
of formats throughout the season. Please let us know your
opinion by voting in the Belfast Barbarians Poll and adding any comments as you see
fit.
