The Irish Women’s Championship took place last week in Portlaoise. Congratulations to Alice O’Gorman, who won for the first time.
Though she was top seed, she did not have it all her own way, and in particular was clearly lost in her round 2 game against Dayna Ferguson and her round 4 game against Antonina Góra.
Two former champions played, of which one was the 1970 champion Elizabeth Shaughnessy. A very nice interview with her can be seen here.
