Cillian Howlett’s BRA Cup side move to 3rd place in the league following an eventful 4-1 win against Dublin on Saturday. With Dublin conceding walk-overs on three boards, it was left to Nick Rottiers on board 1 and Frank Pentony on board 2 to secure 2 draws and maintain an undefeated result in all 5 matches. Next up is a difficult away match to Finglas on 5th March. However, the team are under no pressure as this win secures their place in the BEA Cup for next season and who knows if a bonus is out there? A series of good results in their remaining matches could put them in contention for promotion.
