The all-Ireland club pairs final confined to intermediate grade players, the feature event of the weekend’s fixtures, was won by Catherine Mahon and Garry Windebank.

Barry and Debbie Leahy who remained in contention throughout were second; David Cope and Patricia McCormack third; Kat Hynes and Patrick Mulholland fourth.
Aindrias Ó Caoimh and Donal O’Keeffe in fifth had the best first session score while Alexandra and David Blair who were sixth were the best intermediate B grade pair; Paul Clinch and Jeremy James were second in the B category; Breege and Tom Ryan third, Carol Horan and Deirdre Morris fourth; Sharon McDermott and Clare O’Donoghue had the best second session score.
