O'Hanlon Cup
O'Hanlon Cup is a chess league in Ireland, it is the fourth division of the Leinster Chess Leagues, run by the Leinster Chess Union in Leinster, Ireland. Originally it was the third division, but since the establishment in 1970 of the Heidenfeld Trophy as the second tier, the O'Hanlon became the fourth division. The trophy is named after the nine times Irish Chess Champion, John O'Hanlon and the trophy was used before the setting up of the league as a prize for chess in Connaught by the Irish Chess Union. The top teams each year get promoted to the Ennis Shield and the bottom teams get demoted to the BEA Cup.
