Team Ireland – Johnjo Kenny, Bill Gray, Neil Fyfe and Tony Tierney – lost their first game 6-3 to Bernhard Attinger from Swizerland at Greenacres this morning in the European Senior Invitation.

Christine Stewart reports from the rink-side: “Bernhard Attinger from Switzerland proved to be too strong for Ireland’s John Jo Kenny, he had a two shot lead after four and went on to dominate the second half of the game stealing two in end five and a single in the sixth for a five shot lead. Team Kenny managed singles in the last two ends but the game went to Attinger 6/3.”
