St. Jarlath’s College are the current Connacht Chess Champions. We were delighted to win the title after a close battle with St. Joseph’s Patrician College, ‘The Bish’. It was a full day of competition taking place in the ‘The Ardilaun’ in Galway. After winning all of their rounds, the students qualified for the final and won by keeping their composure under pressure. Congratulations to all involved.
Chess is an exciting and popular activity in the school. Students of all abilities are welcome to play. If any student or parent would like to know more they can contact Ms. Joanne O’Connor (o’connor.j@stjarlathscollege.ie).
