Parlour April Blitz Report
QUB Chess brought its business back to The Parlour for another night of bar blitz. The lively south Belfast bar was the scene for a remarkable tournament which was sensationally only decided in the very last second of a play-off for first place. For the sizeable contingent of newcomers and the onlooking crowd this made for a great spectacle, for the regulars it will come as no surprise that the description tells the tale of a Steve “Metronome” Scannell win.
Come What May
RVH entered the QUB Students Union on Thursday 22nd April knowing that either a team win or draw over reigning champions Queen’s would take them to the promised land of Silver King glory. The team which has served them so exceptionally lined up yet again: Holmes, Annesley, Masterson, Pilkiewicz and Marron. QUB lined up knowing they needed to at least a 3-2 to keep alive their dreams of a seemingly impossible comeback. Freeman, Cohrs, Scannell, Walls and Millar were the players picked to continue the University side’s revival.
