In a closely fought tournament, James Asquith from Burgess Hill emerged as the new Sussex Under 11 champion.
The tournament was particularly notable for the fine performances from some of the younger Sussex players with under 10’s Grant Bucher, Stephanie Barraclough coming 2nd and 3rd, and the Under 9 champion Andrew Tucker coming 6th – all with 5 out of 6.
James managed to fulfill his ambition by remaining on board 1 for the whole competition – as the top table was the only one situated close to a warm heater! The schools competition was successfully defended by St. Lawrence of Hurstpierpoint, despite losing one of their top players after the first round to illness.
