Newtown Friday Night Results

With quite a few regulars absent, fourteen players took to the felt on Friday night in MKI. The night had an international feel with Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales and Lithuania being represented. The prize fund was €500. Jason O'Brien continued his recent good form and chopped top prizes with Greg Gallagher, each receiving €190. Robert Nolan came third on €100, and Moira Gannon got €20 for fourth. Moira also had the best hand of the night, a house of Kings full eights, so she gets a free buy in next week.
