Last Saturday, the Suffolk U11 chess team travelled to Aldgate in London for the Eastern Region Inter County Match. As we are located in the strongest chess region in the country, this was always going to be a very tough event. Our team played extremely well against very strong opposition and achieved some very good results.
I would like to thank all of the team for their performances. We have some very tough opponents and all the players should feel very proud to have represented their county at this level and should remember that some of the very top players in the country were there. Two of our players did the impossible and won 2 of their 3 matches - Amy John and Georgia Pommier. To win 2/3 at this level is a performance that they should be very proud of. I would also like to thank the team for their approach to the day. They worked hard and concentrated, but above all enjoyed themselves - well done. I would like to thank the following who represented their county so well: Alex Bujnowski, Amy John, Arthur Dannatt, Beatrice Boreham, Edison Lorejo, Freddie Dannatt, Georgia Pommier, Isaac Kim, Joe Ferdinand, Lade Laguda, Lanfranco Lawson, Luke Holmes, Matteo Barberini , Max Lewis, Mevin Biju, Raf Calumpiano, Rowan Kent, Ryan John, Theo Pommier, Tia Martin, William Davison, Zikora Varner. The overall results can be found here. Suffolk's results can be found here. Please note that there is an error on Round 3 boards 17 and 18, in which Beatrice Boreham and Alex Bujnowski actually played - I have asked for this error to be corrected. The image below shows where we were playing - a very different environment to Suffolk's Schools! |
