A DRAW WITH MULDOONS


Tonight`s league match with Muldoons was drawn.
Rookie`s report is below.

****************************************

RAY DEVENNEY 1-0 DANNY MALLAGHAN 
SAM FLANAGAN 1-0 STEPHEN WOOD 
BRUCE MacLEAN 0-1 NICHOLAS PILKIEWICZ 
JOHN BRYARS 0-1 DES MORELAND 
MARTIN KELLY 0.5-0.5 BERNARD MCCAUGHEY 
(J.P.CORRIGAN 1-0 PATRICK MCCAUGHEY 
TOTAL 2.5-2.5 
+BONUS 3.5-3.5 

Having recently drawn with champions-elect Ballynafeigh 1, the A Team had another fantastic draw with second-place Muldoons 1 last night and top board Ray continued his winning streak…of two!

As usual, Muldoons moved their top 4 boards around, so that their top seed Nick “nicked” a win on third board over Bruce, for whom it was a bitter “pil(l)kiewicz” to swallow!(Yes, I know…)!

Next to finish was captain Martin,”smartin’ “ from severe time pressure to sac a bishop and then a rook to force a draw with Bernie “the bolt” McCaughey! 

About the same time, the latter’s nephew Patrick lost on time to our new member J.P., who certainly didn’t suffer from the “jips”!

Things looked bleak when John was in a “daze” after Des Moreland was able to “land more” punches than John to leave the score 2.5-0.5! 

The comeback started when a “divine” spell from Devenney left Mallaghan feeling “tres mal again”! 

Sam clinched the match draw with a Queen sac which won a piece, which left Wood “bark”ing mad!
