The competition was decided on the best 9 results for a maximum of 12 games played. Each section winner recieved a "Sam Lynne" shield plus a nominal financial award. Winners keep the shield and club honour for the year until we play again next season.

All sections were closely contested with the final games deciding the winners. Full match results and rankings are available in the Tournament database. A few game positions have been posted by Damien: A duplicity of Rook sacs and Joined up Chess

Senior Shield

Not surprisingly Steve Scannell led the senior table through the competition but with the best 9 scores from 12 games counting, excellent results from both Damien Lavery and Eddie Whiteside kept them both in contention right up until the final game. In the end Damien tied with Steve on 9pts each with Eddie just missing out by half-a-point.

Intermediate Shield

Another closely contested section with Mark Seidman just pipping Ron Henderson also by half-a-point

Junior Shield

Lead of the section changed each week and the decider was the last game when Richard Montgomery scored to tie on points with Drew Ferguson. However, Richard took the shield with the most wins.

Shields were presented on the final evening by club President, Richard Proctor.

Thanks to everyone who participated and especially, controller Damien Lavery who also took the pictures.
