This year we sent 3 teams to the pool intervarsities in February. Our B and C teams were unlucky not to get out of their groups but our A team did well, losing out in the semi final to UCD. The team consisted of Neil Hennelly, Stephen Dempsey, Stephen O'Sullivan, Seamus Keane and Liam Cannon. The first 4 players mentioned also did very well in the singles, all getting to the last 16.
Last Friday (25th March) the same 5 players went to Trinity to compete in the All Ireland pool Finals. We beat DCU B in the 1/4 fnals, then in a great game beat NCI 11-8 in the semi final, after trailing 8-5. We then pulled out an amazing performance to beat DCU A 11-4 in the final to become All Ireland Champions. Stephen Dempsey was also picked to represent Ireland in the Home Nations taking place in Belfast on the 15/16th of April. Neil Hennelly and Seamus Keane both got a trial for the team (which was a round robin competition) but narrowly missed out as 3 players were chosen, Neil came 4th and Seamus was 5th.
Overall it was a very successful year for the club and with our numbers higher than ever before there are very positive signs for
National University of Ireland, Galway, University Road, Galway, Ireland.
