Last night, Monday 21st June 2010, Rathmines beat Phibsboro to claim the annual Branagan Cup.
The scores were:
1. John Delaney FM 2198 1/2 – 1/2 Stephen Brady FM 2354
2. Peter Cafolla 2028 1 – 0 Richard O’Donovan 2065
3. Killian Delaney 1999 1 – 0 John Nolan 2038
4. Darren McCabe 1892 0 – 1 Kevin Butler 1955
5. Michael Kennedy 1831 0 – 1 David Salter 1879
6. Tony Scannell 1822 1 – 0 Herbert Scarry 1737
We last won the Branagan Cup in 2005. My records (from this website’s Roll of Honor) only indicate this single previous win. Does anybody know of a previous win? Surely we have won it before (aside from 2005)?
Well done to all of the team for a tremendous end to the league season!!
