Bridge Club:All Ireland Bridge Award for Bailieborough

The Contract Bridge Association of Ireland (CBAI), has a membership of

thousands of Bridge players throughout Ireland. Each year the President of the

CBAI confers an award on one of it’s members in recognition of outstanding

voluntary work which is aimed at promoting the game of Bridge.

Understandably, there were numerous worthy contenders nominated for the

Award. But this year we, in Bailieborough Bridge Club, are delighted and

honoured to have in our Club the recipient of that Award, Teresa O’ Reilly.

For over forty years, Teresa has played Bridge here. She is a Master player

and has won numerous competitions. But more importantly and to her credit,

she has taught Bridge to multiple groups of players for miles around. She is an

excellent teacher, who is renowned for her remarkable service to Bridge.

Teresa has dedicated several days in her week to teaching Bridge. Apart from

teaching in her home town of Bailieborough, she travels to Cootehill, Cavan

Town, Virginia, Oldcastle and Ballyjamesduff to give lessons, a large area to

cover, especially during the winter months. That in itself is admirable, but

Teresa has done this for years and continues still, totally on a voluntary basis,

to keep Bridge vibrant and to pass on her knowledge and skills.

Her love of the game ensures that her enthusiasm and sense of fun is

transmitted to all her pupils. Her patience, kindness and generosity guarantees

that everybody taught by her acquires a great foundation and understanding of

the game, which will last a lifetime. She has that quality which enables her to

nurture players that would otherwise “have fallen by the wayside”. Also, many

of her former pupils are now themselves, teachers of Bridge, ensuring that the

game will continue to thrive.

The full extent of Teresa’s contribution to Bridge is unknown, as she does not

seek praise or adulation. But we in Bailieborough Bridge Club are eternally

grateful to her and feel that she is truly deserving of the All Ireland Award.
