Kenilworth Mixed Rinks Tournament.
The Kenilworth Mixed Rinks Tournament took place from Monday 20 July to Sunday 26 July. Leinster entered two teams. One Leinster team captained by Pat MacDonagh with Anto Grey, Arthur McMullen and Mary Kenny reached the semi-final. In spite of poor weather, the semi-finals and final went ahead on Sunday.
In the semi-finals, Leinster beat DunLaoghaire and Kenilworth beat the Crumlin/St. James’s Gate team after an extra end. The final took place in the afternoon and Leinster beat Kenilworth to win the competition. DunLaoghaire beat Crumlin/St. James’s Gate for third place.
Captain Pat MacDonagh, who has a proud record in tournaments and national/international competitions, was delighted to win this tournament having been runner-up on four previous occasions, so perseverance can pay off !!
Well done to all participants and congratulations to the winning Leinster team.
