Junior Coaching Squad

Jonathan O'Connor


It gives me great pleasure to announce the junior players who will be receiving coaching in the run up to the Glorney Cup in July. The players have been selected purely based on rating as given by the January rating list. the committee felt it would be fairer to pick more players to receive coaching, than will be part of the teams. This gives all the players an incentive to learn as much as they can from the coaching. The actual team selection will take place in May. Players not mentioned in these lists may qualify if they are stronger.

Our junior officer, Darko Polimac has secured 6 coaches for our juniors: GM Bogdan Lalic, IM Mark Quinn, David Fitzsimons, Peter Cafolla, Karl McPhillips and Darko Polimac. GM Lalic will be teaching Ryan.

To all the juniors and parents, please email as soon as possible.

Finally, best of luck to the junior squad. Don't waste this training!
