Ireland - Team Discussion.

[Fatboydim]

Update

All my offers are out at the present time. The last spot I have thought long and hard about  - I will confirm when I get responses and the team is finalised.

Dave - Should anyone turn down a place - Or not be able to make it last minute - I would be delighted to have you as an alternate if you are up for that.

I cannot question your enthusiasm and commitment - the only reason I could not offer you a place outright I feel was just because of your position in the rankings this year.

Let me know what your thoughts and feelings are on this.

all the best

The Irish team is now confirmed as:

John Murray
Colin O"Prey
Brendan Byrne
Pat O"Callaghan

With Dave Green as our alternate

John and Colin were picked as 1st and 2nd Irish players in the league. Brendan Byrne was picked for his FT appearance last year.

Pat O"Callaghan is the Captain"s pick. Pat has been chosen for his experience. He has had great results in the Irish Open -cashing twice and the WSOP ME cashing this year.
I also know him personally and he is a very personable chap who will add to the team in every way.

I wish I could have five team members because there is no doubt that another asset would be Dave Green - I haven"t met Dave yet but I"m looking forward to doing so. Dave has agreed to be our alternate. He will step in if anyone has to bow out for any reason.

Paddy Power are sponsoring us. And Des has agreed to pay the bar bill. *

Congratulations all and looking forward to the event.

* Only kidding Des :-)
