A report on the Leinster Championship 2007 has been added to the tournament pages here.
All 36 games are available, though none appear in the ICU games archive as of the date of this post. I downloaded the first copy of the games file from the Phibsboro C.C. web pages on December 16, 2010, i.e., over ten years ago, so this report has been in progress for a long time.
The event resulted in a resounding win for Gavin Wall, who finished 1½ points ahead of the field on 5½/6 for his first Leinster title, incidentally doing vastly better than the previous year’s event, when he finished with +1 =5 -0.
However, the event is principally notable as the last tournament of the late Philip Hogarty, who tragically died in the early hours of January 1, 2008, little more than a day after the end of this event.
One of his two wins came in round 5, versus Ryan-Rhys Griffiths.
21. ?
White’s advantage has gone beyond decisive to spectacular. The finish was 21. dxc4 hxg5 22. Rd1 g4? (22… Rh6 and Black can struggle on for a while more) 23. Rd7+ Ka8 24. h4 (quicker 24. Na4 immediately) 24… Rxh4 25. Na4 Qb7 26. Rxb7 Kxb7 27. Qd7+ 1-0.
