Phibsboro Chess Club

A 5-3 win at home, last night against St. Benildus A, wins for Kevin and Oisin, the rest of the matches Luka, Dave, Conor, Colm, John and Art were draws.

Good results for our sides in their first matches after the Christmas break.

The Heidenfeld side won 5-3 against Bray/Greystones, wins for Luka, Conor, and Colm, and draws for Kevin, John, Marc, and Art.

Our Ennis side won against Rathmines 4-2, with wins for John, Tom, and Algamantas, and draws for Mick D., and Fergal

While the results were good, it is difficult to have two matches on the same night, making it harder if more substitutes were needed for either side. Perhaps this should be avoided if possible next season.

The Club reopens on Monday the 6th of January after our Christmas break.

The 2019 Christmas Blitz takes place on Monday 16th in the Club.

Heidenfeld Round 3 Result  – Phibsboro 5 – 3 Drogheda. A good win away. Wins for Luka, Conor, Colm and Marc, draws for Kevin and Art.

Heidenfeld Round 1 a 4-4 draw away to Rathmines. Wins for Oisin, Luka, Kevin and draws for Conor and Mick Delaney.

The 2019 AGM took place in our new venue Clareville Community Centre, on monday 2nd  of September. The committee was re-elected with acknowledgements to all involved in finding a new venue. The new season was discussed and following the AGM the prize-giving ceremony for the 2019 club championship took place.

At the EGM on Monday it was decided that the Clareville Community Centre, Glasnevin, would be our new venue. Thanks to everyone involved in seeking new premises, we can now concentrate on the new season.
