EJCA tournament at Saffron Walden 25th June

Today was the final Essex Junior Chess Association tournament of the Grand Prix season at Saffron Walden. It turned out to be a particularly strong U11 section with a number of players from outside Essex. 8 CJCC players took part including Ben, Eddie and Lawrence who were at their first EJCA event. 

Congratulations to Josh, Jake, Olga and Stewart who all won a trophy for having attended all 5 EJCA events. Lavanan, Ben, James and Ryan played in the U18 Open ahead of representing KEGS in the U19 National School Final on 5^th/6^th July. KEGS are one of 16 schools from across the UK to have qualified.

Next Sunday (2nd July) is the H+H Fire Train and Play event at Moulsham School in Chelmsford.
