Information:

The clubroom is located about 1.5 KM from the junction in Dundrum. Located in St.Benildus College it was formed when the two clubs of St.Benildus and Dundrum merged in 1990. We have five teams in our regional leagues. Our top team in the Armstrong Cup usually are one of the top finishers. We have around about forty members. Many of these members come from the junior section of the club.

The club has its own chess library which consists of over two hundred books and we have videos as well. Throughout the year we organise different events. We have regular simultaneous displays and blitz tournaments. Every year in late June we hold a major tournament, the St. Benildus Classic.

It is probably one of the cheapest clubs in Ireland with a membership fee for juniors of £10 and for over 18's it is £20.

A contact address will be provided soon.
