Bridge players go for record

EVERY card with a heart on it in Kinsale this Valentine’s weekend will be used in a world-record breaking card-playing attempt.

The town’s tourism chiefs have announced details of a marathon bridge tournament to kick-start its 2006 holiday season.

Kinsale’s local bridge club will be joined by players from all over the region across the weekend in a bid to break the current world record for continuous card playing of 72 hours.
