A total of 41 players participated in the Irish Go Congress this year, prominent amongst which were a large party of invading Dutch. They couldn’t stop Ondrej Silt taking first place in the Open though, just ahead of local Corkonian Student Wei Wang. Sharing third on SOS were Willem-Koen PombeestPomstra and Willem Mallon. There was a 4 way tie in the Rapid, separated eventually to leave Edwin Brady ahead of Justyna Kleczar, with Willem-Koen Pomstra again in third. Bernd Sambale, who had been leading going into round 5 was cruelly left with 4th place.

The full results will follow shortly, as will photographs of the event.
