Today (Thursday February 9th) saw the start of the 57th National Championships in ALSAA Bowl. The Championships began with the Mixed Doubles event with 10 teams in competition. The winners of the Mixed Doubles were:

Play will continue Friday evening with the Doubles and continue throughout the weekend culminating with the finals on Sunday.

Visit the Team Ireland Results tab for ongoing results throughout the Championships.

Congratulations to all the finalists on Sunday.

Especially the WINNERS. It Was another good turn out with 40 players participating given that some of our Seniors were away.

The pattern offered its Challenges and brought some humility after the high of the Championships only 2 weeks ago.

As one Senior said to me.

“The pins are in the same place as before but I still can’t hit them.“

I felt his pain.

Thanks to Sean and Peter for doing the scoring, as this was a great help, again thanks to Leisureplex Coolock and all their Staff for hosting another successful Tour It was a nice gesture the pen presentation to Phillip for the 300.

As always a special to all the Seniors who turn up every time and make The Tour Special.

It was nice to see a new face, Pat Kemmy.

Thanks to the ITBA for the goody packs.

Again thanks to the other committee members for their great work as always.

Cheers Joe.

Hi all Seniors,

I just wish to thank Leisureplex for hosting a very successful Championships, thanks Sean, Peter and all the Staff.

I would also like to Congratulate all the winners. Some great games and close finishes, very exciting indeed.

Listening to some, including myself in this…..we might rename the Championships “ The Seniors (open) Championships” given that there were so many open frames.

BUT the oil parrern suited most and made for some high scores .

Well done all.

Especially Philip for a perfect display.

I would like to thank all the committee members for their tremendous work on putting the Champtionships together.

Thank to John and Tim for the fantastic job on the scoring.

Thanks Paddy for the video and all the photos.

I hope to see you all in The Seniors Tour in Coolock again in 2 weeks on Feb 5th.

Cheers

Joe Ridgeway.

Last night (Thursday) saw the start of the 2023 Senior Championships in Leisureplex Coolock. The first event was the Mixed Doubles. Play continued this evening with the Ladies Doubles. Results from these events and ongoing throughout the weekend are available on the Seniors Results page or be clicking here.

A great turnout in Tallaght last Sunday, considering all the nasty viruses going around.

Some of us played very well today, the pins didn’t  pull any strings for me though.

Congrats to all the winners.

Hope to see you all gain at the Championships.

The information pack will be issued this weekend.

The results and rankings after the this event are now available on the Seniors page.
