The 2022 Fireball Irish Nationals was a win for Isaac Marsh and Oliver Davenport.
The Pre-Worlds event, hosted by Lough Derg YC in Dromineer, Ireland, was held in mainly breezy conditions which led to a gradually reducing fleet as the six races took place, with just 12 boats contesting the final race.
Marsh and Davenport finished on 9 points, just one ahead of Jiri Paruzek and Jakub Kosvica CZE who tied on 10 points with Chris Bateman and Thomas Chaix IRL. The podium group taking each taking two race wins in their scoreline.
There was then a 15 point gap to the chasing pack, with in fourth place Barry McCartin and Conor Kinsella IRL in a three-way tie on 25 points with Martin Kubovy and Roman Rocek CZE, and Milan Snajdr and Matej Snajdr CZE.
