Armstrong: Phibsboro B v Elm Mount

On a wet and miserable Monday evening, 6 of the Armstrong team met at An Óige in Mountjoy Street to take on Phibsboro's B team. The only bright spot of the evening was Oliver's quick win. Only one other game finished on the night, Alan drawing and Michael, Zygis, Ciaran and Gerry adjourning. The remaining 2 games are to be played on Thursday.

Update
David and Tomas both won their games on Thursday and Zygis's adjourned game was drawn so the score is currently Elm Mount 4 Phibsboro B 1

Update - final score 6-2!
We won the match 6-2 in the end, thanks to a fortunate adjournment win in my game. Michal, Zygis and Gerry agreed draws. Such a good result seemed very unlikely at 11:00pm at the end of the first session.

Heidenfeld 05/06 season

The new season saw the Heidenfeld once again with two teams. As usual the first round was an "old firm derby", which ment that form went out the window. This has been proven by the even score of 3½ points each with one game adjourned.
Elm Mount "B" played their second round match in the Esplanade Hotel Bray. In this our momentum continued and we have a result of 4½ points with one game adjourned. We needed one sub for this match, Eamonn Pitts, who had a draw.
