EUROPEAN GO NEWS: Munster Novices Best Ulster in Interprovincials

Published on 9/13/2010
The 2010/11 Interprovincials -- a competition based around Ireland’s four traditional provinces, or kingdoms -- kicked off on KGS last weekend. Munster’s coach had sacked the entire team after their wooden spoon finish in last year’s competition, bringing in a novice squad full of fresh blood. Ulster meanwhile had chosen much the same team, the only new player being Karl Irwin, currently teaching maths in China. The novice Munster squad, captained by Anthony Durity, used their handicap stones very well and pulled off a well-earned victory 2-1. Dangerously for them though, they suffered some rank promotions in the course of their victory. Perhaps this will tell in their games against Leinster and Connaught. In other Irish go news, the Belfast Open is coming up in two weeks. - Ian Davis, Irish Correspondent for the E-Journal
