Our U16s and u13s played in the Community Games Chess County competition last weekend in Newcastle West. Our U16s renewed rivalry with NCW whom we beat last year to win the title. However we were knocked off our perch with some very close tussles before losing to NCW by 3 boards to 2. Our u13’s also had a great tournament with a creditable performance achieving 4th place with 8 teams competing. All involved enjoyed the day and was a credit to the NCW chess club for organizing the room, food and refreshments for a thoroughly great day of chess. Teams were U16s: Maurice Fitzgerald. David Sheehan, Conor Fitzgerald, Jim Culhane, Jamie Ruddle. U13s Cian Fitzgerald, Jerry Ruddle, Sean Adams, Paula-Eve Culhane, Daniella Thompson and Gabriella Thompson.
