What a fantastic night it was yesterday (9th June) with 66 members playing Rounds 3 & 4 in a record turnout !
Can we beat this next week for the finale with Rounds 5 & 6 taking place ?
Both of the top two sections have the only players with 100% records – James Ratcliffe in the Open and Ebube Christian in the Major. With a one point lead over their nearest rivals, they are hot favourites for these two sections.
The Intermediate has three joint leaders on 3.5pts and another three players on 3pts. Jack Patullo, Simon Humphries and Sam Ollier share the lead while Wallace Hung, Freddie-Lee Cooper and Mason Burke have a great chance if they can pick up two points next Tuesday.
In the Minor section the club’s youngest member Jasper Ludlow leads with 3.5pts with other juniors Andrew Caccamo-Turner and Jack Taylor hot on his heels with 3pts.
A reminder for the tie breaks are:
1. Most wins
2. Head to head scores among any joint top scorers, where all involved would have to have played each other. If there is no decisive tie-break then all joint top scorers will receive trophies at the forthcoming AGM.
It promises to be a great night next week.
