The Leinster Championships are being held over the May Bank Holiday weekend, the usual slot for the Malahide Millennium Tournament. In fact these two tournaments have amalgamated this year, and pre-event it was being anticipated that the quality and quantity of those competing would be greater than the two events have been able to achieve on their own. If all goes well maybe a long-term collaboration will be on the cards.
Perhaps less well-known is that this is the centenary Leinster Championship. Sean and I have put together a Roll of Honour, featuring all the champions from 1912 to date that we are aware of. If any of our growing band of followers can add to the list, we would be glad to hear from them.
I won the Leinster ch outright in 1986. I remember because it was the same year as the Glorney Cup in Swansea. Source: me, and my name on the cup.
