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.

Brian Gallagher
