The very first Sussex Under 8 champion is Farris Ziyada from Crawley. A fitting champion for a brand new venue at Lindfield Primary School. Farris managed to overcome both the pre tournament favourites Christopher Linnett and Sebastian Stracey, who both had the consolation of being in the winning school team, Hellingly.
