This is from a Facebook post by one of the players, for which thanks.

How many of the players can you identify?

You might like to compare with the picture of the Elm Mount Branagan Cup-winning team this year, for one of them!

[Update, August 30, 2014:] the photo was of course from Gerry MacElligott’s Facebook page, and he supplies the names in a comment below: left to right Ken Clarke, Seán Kennelly, Gerard MacElligott, Alan MacDonagh, Alek Tyrrell, unknown. Not pictured: Gerry K. Barry.

If I understand correctly, three of that team will be playing, still for Elm Mount, in the Armstrong Cup this season.

    Gerry McElligott is sporting quintessential 70’s fashion! That looks like Alan McDonagh behind him.

    In the photo – left to right:
    Ken Clarke, Seán Kennelly, Gerard MacElligott, Alan Mac Donagh, Alek Tyrrell. Gerry K Barry was missing for the photo so another chess player stepped into the photo. I’m afraid I don’t know who he is.
