    The Irish Club Championships take place this weekend in Ballinasloe. 6 teams have entered (listed below by seeding and according to average rating)
    1. Gonzaga (2136)
    2. Adare (2108)
    3. Galway (1919)
    4. Ennis (1858)
    5. Blanchardstown (1795)
    6. Ballinasloe (tba)
    Hard to see beyond either Gonzaga and Adare for top spot, with the other club battling it out with Galway for second. The inclusion of Ballinasloe helps to avoid a bye but if they are significantly weaker than the other teams then one could argue that, given that there are just 4 rounds, it could affect final outcome. It should be an interesting weekends chess anyway! I'll try post some updates on my blog during tournament and possibly there will also be coverage on icu one though thats not confirmed

    Final Results
    1. Adare
    2. Galway
    3. Ennis
    4. Gonzaga
    5. Blanchardstown
    6. Ballinasloe

    Adare won it but I think even they would have to admit they were jammier than a very jammy, jammy dodger in doing so. You can read it about it at my blog if you like
