Last Round Results
The last rounds took place in ALSAA again this year, with both of our sides having last round victories
Heidenfeld Trophy side won 5.5-1.5 in the final round, wins for Michael, John, Dario, draws for Kevin and Valentin, and a Draw for Peter who substituted for the side at late notice. After a poor 1st half of the season the team rallied and finished 5th in the league.
Our Ennis Shield side cemented their place in the division, with a 5 – 1 win, with wins for Fergal, Tony, Tom and Mick, and draws for Noel and John.
Heidenfeld Trophy Result v Inchicore
A hard fought draw with Inchicore by our Heidenfeld Trophy side in the club on monday night. This Should be enough to see the team safe in the league and fighting to be in the top half of the table, in the final round on Sunday in ALSAA.
Excellent wins for Kevin, Dario, Art and John.
