First Trust Ulsters Masters 2009 Squash Tournament


This tournament was held in Belfast this year. My husband Eugene entered the tournament and was seeded 7th. He was supposedly seeded 8th but one guy pulled out of the tournament. Out of the 7 entries in Eugene's Category, 4 are from Cork, 2 are from Dublin and 1 Kilkenny.


Eugene's first game was against Donal Coughlan, a guy from Cork last Friday evening. Eugene won that game 3 sets to 1. His second game was against Eamonn O'Keefe last Saturday morning. Eamonn is also from Cork. Eugene won that game 3 sets to 1 as well. Winning that game, he then qualified to the Finals against another guy from Cork, Neil O'Sullivan. And of course Eugene won that game 3 sets to 2! Yeppey!!!! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the whole match because Francis decided to go to sleep at the time that Eugene played his game. Those who've watched the game said that he really played brilliantly!


The tournament was sponsored by First Trust Bank and was held at the Belfast Boat Club.
