Victory for Curragh!
The Curragh have won the William Brennan Trophy 2010. In the final of the knock-out competition, the Curragh were losing 2.5-0.5 from 3 games played on Monday 12th July and needed all three points in the last remaining games held on Saturday 17 July. Amazingly they managed to secure all three points to secure the trophy for players rated under 1500.
