    normally one of the biggest events on the Irish calendar.

    Rumour has it that the Bunratty tournament may be threatened due to the uncertain future of Fitzpatrick's hotel, so this might in fact be by far the biggest tournament left.

    I don't know what foreign players are expected but the tournament usually attracts most of Ireland's best.

    Lost all time for this competition when I finished with 5/6 in the under 1200 section and got a grand prize of 20 quid. Good city but shocking venue and not a patch on Bunratty or Galway

    tournament was a success I think, though it was marred by an incident away from the tournament -- Kilkenny can be quite a rough place.

    English GM Tony Kosten won it, I think the next few places also went to English players. I scored 3/6 which I was pretty happy with.
