Ballynafeigh May Rapidplay results

Tuesday 22nd May saw the first in a summer series of rapidplay tournaments at Ballynafeigh Chess Club. A strong field included Michael Waters, Stephen Scannell, Eamonn Walls and Gareth Annesley, but there were shocks from an early stage and in the end Damien Lavery and Desmond Moreland rose to the top. The latter two won their first four games before drawing with each other in the fifth and final round. Lavery took first prize on tie-break. Grading prizes went to Ballynafeigh pied-piper Damien Cunningham and Mohamed Saad.
