Attendance numbers at Longford Bridge Centre on the rise

Bridge had continued, on line, for many members during the two years closed down. This was achieved under the management of our chairman John Nugent, and through the skill and efficiency of James Connolly, assisted by his wife Catherine and Pauric McKenna. This column joins in the tributes and appreciation, which have been widely expressed to all four.
