Irish Open
May 5th, 2009 by Arthur Gaskinjust played the Irish Open last week. One of the greatest events (tad biased!) which attracted a very strong field with former world numer 1 and current number 6 Tiery Lincou. In the last 16 I played mo el shorbaggy of Egypt and world number 17. I lost the 1st but played strong second and at 8 all in the third i’d let it slip and he sneaked it. A little bit of frustration creeped in and a bad start in the 4th gave him the lead he needed to win the 4th 11-8. I played well in patches just needed to be a bit more patient at times bt its a good step in the right direction and proves the hard work is showing.
next up the europeans in malmo. our group (Ireland) is czech, poland, hundary and gibraltar.
