As mentioned in the last post, Gerard O’Connell won this year’s Irish 65+ Championship, with 5½/7, half a point ahead of Pat Hogan, Gerard MacElligott, and David Salter. Hogan won their individual game in round 6, after an oversight by O’Connell, and there was a three-way tie between O’Connell, Hogan, and Salter heading into the final round. In the final round the latter two drew against each other, and O’Connell’s win against Pete Morriss gave him the title.
