The Munster championship has had various formats over the years, often taking the form of the highest Munster-based player in some other event, and in several years not being held at all. This year saw a welcome return to a stand-alone event, which took place in Ennis last weekend. The entrants included the current Irish (co-)champion Philip Short and for good measure the winner of this year’s Ulster championship as well, Rory Quinn (though he was ineligible for the title of Ulster champion). However in the event it was Paul Walsh who took clear first on 4½/5.
