The chess club meets every Tuesday lunch time in Mr Robertson’s room.
It has been running now for a number of years and currently has over 25
members. We play friendly games every week and we have an in-house
championship every year before Christmas. This year the winner was Mark
Noble with George Marshall as runner-up.

Subsequently we went to play in the first every Inter school competition
in Portlaoise. The A team consisted of: Mark Noble, David Nzewi, Adam
Syed and George Marshall. The B team consisted of: Sultan Adeleke, Tiwani
Akinlabi, Nathan Ellis and Conor Tobin. We all had an excellent time with
the A team coming sixth and the B team coming fourth. Thank you very
much to Miss Argue for accompanying us on the day. Thank you also to
Meabh O’Regan & Tolayo Akinlabi who facilitate the Chess Club every
Lunchtime. The chess club is open to everyone, from first years to sixth
years so come along and join in, and have some fun!!
