CHESS
Q The Junior School Chess team have enjoyed another successful year. In November, our teams entered the first stages of the Kent Champions League Chess Tournament; Sammy Marshall and Ryan Nguyen, who at the time were new to the chess squad, had an amazing day winning the majority of their matches. Further Champions League successes throughout the year meant that the U11 team ended top of the qualifying league, and they came in 3rd place in the subsequent knockout competition. The U9s also came 3rd in the knockout round, with Rajan Philip winning all seven of his matches! Stiffer competition faced the U9 and U11 teams at the EPSCA chess tournament at Eltham College, but all the boys played extremely well and successfully qualified for the next stage of the National Primary School Championship at Pontins. Despite playing admirably at this latter stage of the competition, neither Dulwich team progressed to the National Finals. Well done to all the boys within the chess squads for their commitment over the past year.
