| Northern Ireland got off to a strong start and were 4-0 up after the first two sessions. There were many close matches but the Northerners just had the edge when it mattered. Joe McRoberts gained 4 victories for the North before losing his last match to John Moore, who was the Republic of Ireland's only unbeaten player. Their No. 1, Gary Moore, surprisingly lost twice, although he also won twice. The much-improved Andy Fitzpatrick got creditable draws against Kenny Beggs & Barry Spence. A very enjoyable, sporting day was had by all and many thanks are due to the Q-Bar, Dublin for providing an excellent venue with great hospitality, including an abundant, free supply of sandwiches. |
