All relevant discussions here thanks.

Can anybody stop Enniscorthy this year?

L1m1tless · 15-09-2017 1:15pm

First bit of a result.

Curragh .5 Cavan 1.5

4 games to play tomorrow.

cdeb · 16-09-2017 6:22pm

Drogheda 3-2 St Benildus, with the last game on Wednesday.

Encouraging start for us given we were missing two of our top boards; Drogheda would be one of the favourites I'd say.

L1m1tless · 16-09-2017 7:43pm

Curragh 2 Cavan 4

cdeb · 21-09-2017 7:42am

Drogheda 3-3 St Benildus in the end

cdeb · 05-10-2017 12:11pm

St Benildus 5-1 Inchicore

L1m1tless · 07-10-2017 10:43pm

Enniscorthy 2.5 Curragh 3.5

Very good result for Curragh. Did Enniscorthy have their two 1800’s ? The Ennis will be very interesting this year with strong Phibsboro and St Benildus squads

Enniscorthy have a strong squad, but all matches in this league will be close. Final round madness guaranteed!
On this occasion the Curragh were outrated by 250 - 300 on every board but it's our first win in a long gone time.

L1m1tless · 21-10-2017 8:10pm

Curragh 4 Longford 2

L1m1tless · 23-10-2017 6:29pm

Any other results from the weekend?

Pushyawn · 24-10-2017 8:39am

Inchicore v Drogheda 3-3

L1m1tless · 05-11-2017 12:23am

Phibsboro 4 Curragh 2

cdeb · 08-11-2017 2:48pm

Skerries 2.5-3.5 St Benildus

Credit to Skerries for being accommodating with the train strike! 2-3 hours to get out.

Drogheda 2.5-2.5 Malahide with one game to go per Drogheda's site.

I think this is going to be the tightest of all the divisions. Skerries, Malahide, Drogheda, Enniscorthy and St Benildus all seem to have legitimate promotion credentials.

Pushyawn · 11-11-2017 6:21pm

Cavan 2.5/3.5 inchicore

cdeb · 13-01-2018 7:16pm

Benildus 3-1 Curragh, with two games on Wednesday. Keeps us right in the promotion race for now

L1m1tless · 13-01-2018 11:50pm

What happened with your match against Malahide? Was it postponed?

cdeb · 13-01-2018 11:56pm

Yes, though it wasn't meant to drag on for quite this long.

It was initially postponed because of the hurricane and the national warning to stay indoors. It was rearranged for the following week, but Malahide forgot to book their venue. Then there was a Bank Holiday, and then they had a league game, and then they stopped talking to us altogether, and then they asked the controller to set a date, and finally we agreed to play sometime later this month. The match won't be FIDE-rated as a result (but the rest of the division will be unaffected)

Rathminor · 14-01-2018 12:31am

Inchicore 1.5 Rathmines 4.5

Rathminor · 14-01-2018 12:43am

Inchicore 1.5 Rathmines 4.5

OK cool, thanks for the explanation.

Drogheda v Enniscorthy the big game on today.

Rathminor · 18-02-2018 2:14pm

Cavan 2.5 Rathmines 3.5
Very important points for both teams in the battle to stay ahead of Inchicore in the relegation battle!

bduffy · 18-02-2018 2:17pm

Inchicore 3.5 - 2.5 Curragh
Board 2 could have gone either way but went to the home team in the end!

L1m1tless · 25-02-2018 3:02pm

So Drogheda have lost some of their points due to violating the 150 rule over a number of matches. That all but rules out their promotion chances and lets Benildus and Skerries in with a real chance.

cdeb · 25-02-2018 6:32pm

That's remarkably careless. Looks like a foreign player with a FIDE rating?
