ECGCF (English County Girls Chess) Minor Cup (11 Jun 00)
A young Sussex team of six girls performed creditably in this under 14 event at Paddington, coming third out of four, but only 1 point behind the winners, Kent. With the average age of the team only 11, the outlook is very promising for a good few years.
