This year's Irish championship was played from Saturday 30th July to Thursday 4th August to accommodate players travelling to the World Championships.
Following 48 hours continuous rain prior to the start of the tournament, conditions were initially very heavy with two lawns unplayable. As the week progressed the lawns became easier but still slow.
