Irish championship players, updated

The lists of Irish championship players have been updated to include the 2018 championship: see the full list in descending order of number of championships played, and the same in alphabetical order.

Two errors have been corrected:

• Previously “W. Laveney” was given as having played in the 1977 championship, following the tournament book, but this seems to have been a misprint for “W. (William) Lavery”;
• “M. Taylor”, who played in the 1976 championship, was previously given as “A. Taylor”; both versions are given in the tournament book.

In addition, full player names have been given for several more players.

In 2018, Colm Daly and Eamon Keogh each equalled John O’Hanlon’s record of 29 championships. Five of the top ten in terms of the number of championships played have entered this year’s championship.

Corrections are always welcome, so please feel free to comment.
