Game of the Year 1962?

The Irish Times reports that they’ve found a silver chess trophy from 50 years ago, uncovered during a spring clean at Weir’s jewellers. Seems a pity to leave it unclaimed! The last winner was one V. Maher. Anyone have any remembrance of this trophy (I’m way too young to have a clue…)?

Great news from the Juniors at the Leinster Junior Championships.
Peter Cooke won the Leinster u14s title(jointly with Padraig Hughes)
Michael Higgins won the Leinster u11s title
Mattew Gallagher came 2nd in the u10s
Many of the Rathmines juniors were highly placed in the various age groups.
A full report will be coming shortly.
In the meantime, well done Juniors! You’ve done yourselves and Rathmines Junior CC proud.
