November Handicap 2023
This past weekend was host to the November Handicap competition which was held in Tralee Sports and Leisure Centre.
It was great to see such a big entry in the competition especially in the lower divisions, great to see that there is such an interest in the sport.
The competition was a doubles competition with a round robin format and then a mixed final so the ladies doubles winners and mens doubles winners would be split and paired with each other for a mixed final.
It was a long day for all those involved in organising and running the competition and for the players also.
A big thank you must be said to all the organisers on the day fir running off the competition successfully with such a big entry. The results from the weekend are as follows:
Division 5:
Winners: Jack Quinn (Moyvane) and Sonya Kerin (Kingdom)
R-Up: Jophy John (Tralee) and Ailbhe O’Connor (Killarney)
