Result: IC of GB 3 - 8 IC of Ireland

The IC of Ireland beat the British team 8 - 3 at Sutton LTC in Dublin, Ireland. Captained by Peter Hannon, the British team featured Siobhan Nicholson, Karen Cass, Judy Horn, Sarah Thomas, Jane Hannon, Andrew Smith, Anders Johansson and Brian Lawlor. 

Our hosts, Tom and Mary Barry very kindly put on a superb party on the Friday evening at their house and following a competitive match on Saturday both teams were treated to a fantastic evening in a local seaside restaurant and night caps at Howth Yacht Club. The IC of Ireland President, Bryan Smyth, was awarded honorary membership of the IC of GB.

The weekend was very sociable and huge success (bar the result!). Everyone truly enjoyed themselves and our thanks to the IC of Ireland for being wonderful hosts.
