    The summer knockout style tournament for teams of players rated under 1500.

    I'm looking at the cup as I type. Anyone brave enough to come take it from us? :p

    Good luck to all,

    My prediction: Winners of Group 1 will win the competition.

    True, I just looked at their possible players, If Elm Mount field their best team they should do very well with 6 1400+ players.

    Although, they also have a team in the Killane Shield and a player can only play in one tournament. It might dilute them a bit.

    A player can play in all three competitions, if they qualify to do so. They can only play for one team in each competition.

    Yes you are correct, as long as the games dont clash.

    Its all the same anyway because the Curragh are going to win! :P

    Curragh 5.5-0.5 St Benildus

    Threw away two wins by getting King and rook forked. And then resigned one of those in a drawn position! Not our day

    I must be honest we did have a good bit of luck, your board one played very well and I felt a bit bad for him not to get something from the game.

    St Benildus ½-5½ Bray/Greystones

    Thats a bad result for us too. I thought you would score more for sure.

    Anybody have results from the other groups?

    Drogheda 1.5 Curragh 4.5

    A big task for Drogheda needing 4.5 to progress, They went down with great fighting spirit and wouldn't take any draws!

    It was Rathmines 4 Bray/Greystones 2.
    If we win tomorrow it will be a repeat of last years final.
    It might be a tall order though as we have a weakened team.

    Curragh 2.5 Elm Mount 3.5

    A very enjoyable match with a nice bunch of lads, Pretty exciting and I reckon we gave you a good mental workout.

    Best of luck to the finalists!
