CJCC players at Brentwood Junior Open

The 10th Brentwood Junior Tournament had a record entry and was the biggest junior tournament in Essex for many years.

Over 140 players took part including over 40 from CJCC. It was the first tournament for some and it was great to see so many playing.

Among our trophy winners were Sachith (U18 Minor winner), Aarav (U18 Minor third place), Digby (U11 Open winner), William Dawson (U11 Open third place), Samaren (U11 Minor winner) and Jayden (U11 Minor runner-up).


Here are three of our trophy winners  -  KEGS students Aarav, Rahul and Sachith.

The crosstables from the tournament are at Chess-Results Server Chess-results.com - The 10th Brentwood Junior Tournament and a few photos of CJCC players are below.
