Armstrong Cup v Gonzaga Result
The Armstrong cup team lost 6.5-1.5 against a very strong Gonzaga side (league leaders)- some good preformances and draws for Kevin, Herbert and sub Colm.
Some recent Heidenfeld Results
Some recent Heidenfeld Results – Phibsboro drew 4-4 with Lucan, and lost 5.5-2.5 against Drogheda
A Difficult Night for the Armstrong Team
The Armstrong team suffered a heavy 6.5-1.5 defeat away to a strong Dublin University side last night. With a bit of luck, we might have picked up an extra half-point or so, but an upset was always unlikely. Out-rated on seven boards, our next match will be even harder – Gonzaga will most probably out-rate us on all eight boards.
The struggle continues…
Recent Results
Some recent results the Armstrong Cup team drew 4-4 with a very strong Bray/Greystones side, good wins for Art, Lukasz and Herbert.
Our Heidenfeld Trophy team lost 6-2 to a strong Celbridge team a good win for Tom, and creditable draw for Mick on board one.
