With Ed Goodwin on 4.5 just missing out on second place.So congratulations to all three players.

Mentions must also go to:

John Harris who on his first tournament and has only recently joined the club, scored a very creditable 4 points.

Clive Blackburn and Ian Evans also had a very good tournament scoring 4/6 and both were challenging for the top spots right up until the last round.

Thank you to all players who took part in the tournament, there were some very hard fought games and everyone once again seemed to enjoy this end of term "friendly tournament"
