2pm - doors open & registration begins
3pm - tournament kicks off
This event is being held in honor of the late Dort Byrne, a cherished member of the Shamrock Club for over 50 years. Dort was the wife of Past President Murdith P. Byrne (1970), sister-in-law of Past President Joseph Byrne (1980), mother of Past Presidents Patrick Byrne (2001) and Thomas Byrne (2006), mother-in-law of Past President Molly Byrne (2011), and a dear friend of our current President Megan Dempsey. Most importantly, Dort was mother to the official Shamrock Club of Columbus Leprechaun, Brian B. Byrne.
Dort was a pillar in the Irish community and an avid euchre player, known for her many trophies. Her grandchildren requested this event to honor Dort on the same weekend she would have celebrated her 90th birthday. Dort shared her birthday with her daughter Mollie and the two were always sure to celebrate together. The family hopes to make this an annual tournament to continue that celebration each year. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House, reflecting Dort’s legacy of love and community spirit.
All entry fees go to 4 cash prizes for each game of eight players (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place total score and the Final Loner Cup).
