Christmas Blitz - results

We had our Christmas Blitz on Tuesday night with 21 participants. Thanks to all who attended for making it a fun and enjoyable night.

We used the same time-handicapping system work out by Sean Nolan last year and again it worked well with the top of the leader board throwing up a nice mix of players on different ratings.

Thanks to all those who helped out with setting up the tables and boards, refreshments, tidying up etc.

Winner (5 out of 5)
Brian Gallagher



2nd (Tie on 4 out of 5)

Katherine Bolger (JNR)
