SATURDAY 7th November
Ianto Jones, Hector Huser and Raphael Kalid were part of the 12 players who represented Kent U12s and Rosemead school at the tournament below:
THE NATIONAL YOUTH CHESS ASSOCIATION
UNDER 16 and UNDER 12 CHAMPIONSHIPS
SATURDAY, 7th NOVEMBER 2009
at ABRAHAM DARBY ACADEMY, IRONBRIDGE ROAD,
MADELEY, TELFORD, SHROPSHIRE, TF7 5HX
It was a very long journey for the boys and parents. We left a location in SE London by coach at 5:30am so we could get to the venue before 10:30am for the first round. It was a hard and well fought competition over 4 rounds of good quality chess. Although we had a younger team, we came home with the well deserved and unexpected third place. All our boys performed very well.
SUNDAY 8th November
On Sunday, The kent players were back in front of a chess board at Eltham college taking part in our 2nd home tournament of the season (GP2)
There were five of our Rosemead chess players: Hector Huser and Raphael Kalid playing in the U14s tournament, Ianto Jones playing in the U12s, Angharad Jones playing in the U10s and Edith Huser playing in the U8s. They all performed very well. Raphael won the U14 section and Edith received a trophy for the best U8s girl.
Well done to all our Rosemead players!!
On the primary school competition we came 2nd to Eltham College junior school.
It would certainly be great to see more players from Rosemead playing in our Kent GPs!
