Ireland Merged Teams?

If it was the fact that Belfast or Dublin had very few poker players, or had another club right on their doorstep, then it would be a different matter, but neither is the case.

Yes it may be tough to get players to play online, but the league is about giving players an introduction to APAT games and allow them to get involved with the community side of things.  Getting to know players local to them, who they then may meet at live events.

Without being argumentative in any way, I am on team Brendan here.  I think both teams will struggle.  Having said that, I know both captains are doing all they can to recruit new members.  Unfortunately, there is just not the same scope here (metaphorical here as I live in London atm) as there is in England.  Hoping to be proved wrong, but both teams will struggle to recruit individually when the allure of the UKIPT seats is going to be out of reach.  Just have to try and get player of the season obv...
