The club recently hosted the annual Mick Germaine Cup competition which is an event for teams of 4 junior players. 16 teams took part including 4 from Elm Mount. The event was won by the Drogheda Dragons and the best placed Elm Mount team was the Elm Mount Kings who finished 5th overall. A number of the Elm Mount players were representing the club for the first time in a chess competition. Well done to all the players involved.
