Ennis Shield 2004/05 & Bodley Cup 2004/05

Bothe Curragh teams were at home today:- Ennis Shield 2004/05 Round 9 - 9 April 2005 Curragh v Finglas Richard Arundell (1749) 1-0 Mark McLoughlin (1549) 0-1 Noel Lynch (1392) 0-1 Peter Klompers (1322) 1-0 Niall O'Shea (1109) 1-0 Dermot Earls This was an important game between the Curragh and Finglas who were both on 31 points at the start of the day and the Curragh kept the initiative before next week's final games. Noel's unbeaten run came to an end when he fell into an opening trap which left his King on the run for much of the game. Peter and Niall both had good results against stronger opponents. Richard had a comfortable win while I lost a tight game when my opponents two bishops were too strong against my bishop and knight. Bodley Cup 2004/05 Round 6 - 9 April 2005 Curragh v Ballinasloe Brendan Duffy 1-0 Patrick Launders Derek Stacey 1-0 Eamonn Launders Noel Kelly 1-0 Kevin Kinsella Hugue Hammound 0.5-0.5 Sam Hobbs David Thorpe 0-1 Sophie Hobbs The second team also got a good result today with a 3.5-1.5 win against Ballinasloe. A first outing for new player Huge Hammound who managed a draw.
