This is a great game and mighty craic on a Friday night. Terrific atmosphere and always a good buzz. League run for Irish Open tickets and this ensures a good standard of play.

Riveam

is this still running?

TheAceQueen

This tourney is still going stronger than ever. Irish Open league 2010 in full swing, but this is a marathon rather than a sprint, so there is still plenty of time to get involved. The number of players is usually 25-30. Two weeks ago there were 40 players. A great friendly atmosphere, and excellently run tournament. Cash game a bit more organised.
