Only six adult players from Galway C.C. at the 2016 congress. At the first one over forty years ago ,there were sixteen.
Forty years ago was a little before my time; if you have any info about it please let us know. It must have fallen into abeyance, as the recent series was initiated by Ronan Duke in 2002 (see the Congress:About link).
There were a few more than six players from Galway CC this time, as the club listing provided by the ICU is not reliable; as you will see from the report there were ten from Galway club (or with Galway connections) amongst the prize-winners, which was a very good performance.
