Do I need to bring a chess board,, and can you pay on the day..

Hi,

Ya you can pay on the day - €5.

Bring a board if you like - we should have enough to cover the expected turn-out but no harm to have a few extra.

Cheers

Hello.

Just wondering if a 14 year old would be welcome? He's very good!

We had a decent turn out on the day of 28 participants, comprising of a number of local players, quite a few juniors with parents in attendance, some members of the Ballinasloe and Galway clubs and a few just up to make a day of it and enjoy 6 rounds of rapid in a casual setting.

Credit to Alan, Tommy and Emmet for ensuring everything went off smoothly,

and a big thanks to the THE PHOENIX BAR for the use of the venue.

Final standings: 1st Niki Mullins, 2nd Ross Du Berry, 3rd Tommy Dunne, Best Junior Prize: Wyatt Winston.

Thanks to all who turned out in support and hope to see you again next year in Tullamore.
