The home of chess in Galway
The recently revived Connaught League began a few weeks ago. The new format this year is a knockout with quarter finals, semi finals and a final. Galway played its quarter final game with a 3½-1½ win over Ballinasloe – although the match was closer than the score suggests.
This qualifies us for a semi-final against Ballina.
The team for the Ballinasloe match was Paul Ward (captain), Felix Calleja, Ger Abberton, Amos Cunningham and Kevin Fitzpatrick.
If anybody knows any other scores, schedules or even nice games for the Connaught League please post here.
