Rathmines have entered a team for the National Club Championships, to be held on the weekend of Saturday 25th April – Sunday 26th April 2009, in Ballinasloe. The top two placed teams qualify for the European Club Cup. Full list of rules available on the ICU website: http://www.icu.ie/icu/national_club_championships.php
The team captain, Jack Killane, tells me the Rathmines team will be:
- John DelaneyFM 2244
- Peter Cafolla 1987
- Killian Delaney 1922
- Mindaugaus Janusaitis 1857
- Jack Killane 1827
- Michael Kennedy 1796
I believe that the other teams, only five in total, are to be:
- Ennis
- Galway
- Kilkenny (Baburin, Quinn, Heidenfeld et al)
- Limerick
- Dublin University
I also understand that they’ve decided to reduce it to three rounds only (I’m not 100% certain about this). It will be FIDE rated. Good luck to the team!
