The Gonzaga College Chess Classic took place from Jan 16th to 18th.
Many Rathmines juniors took part in all sections.
It was great to see so many young players qualifying to play in the Masters Section. A fantastic achievement for transition year student, Conor O’Donnell, who organised a great tournament, and topped it off by winning the Masters.
Highlights of the weekend for Rathmines:
Sean Hunter winner of the Challangers section
Ciara Scallan, who along with Alice O’Gorman(Shankhill) won top female player of the tournament.
In the Masters, Henry Li achieved a draw with last years Irish Senior Champion FM Colm Daly and Michael Higgins scored a very solid 3pts.
