The first result of our first club league are in ..
Corinthians league table:
Salthill league table:
The top two teams from each club night will play-off on the last club evening (party) !
This years community games was a massive success .. Several new teams entered for the first time and the standard exhibited by the players was really exceptional.
The Salthill and Moycullen teams were much younger than their counterparts in the u-12 section and will have gained valuable experience for years to come.
For both sets of players and managers it was their first taste of competitive chess .. and they seem to have enjoyed the day out ! for more .. see winners.. also seen were the next generation from Knocknacarra:
