Elm Mount have won in the first-round of the 2005-6 Armstrong Cup. David Fitzsimons, Oliver Dunne, John Loughran and Bernard Boyle all won, Gerry McElligott and Alan McDonagh drew and Zygis Jakubauskas and myself lost.

David and Alan have moved up to the Armstrong team this year. John and Bernard substituted for unavailable players.

The Armstrong team's next match is away to defending champions Phibsboro A on the 26th of September. UPDATE! - the match against Phibsboro A has been postponed until Monday 3rd October and will take place in Elm Mount.
