Division Three – Group A
A joint venture between Castlehill Chess Club Dundee and Dundee Chess Club.
RESULT
Dorset Juniors (1515) 6 – 2 (1554) Dundee City Juniors
Well, they think it`s all over, it is now! Dundee City Juniors put out their 4 strongest players for their last match, but came up against one of the strongest sides in the league in Dorset Juniors 1!
Rishi Vijayakumar playing his last match for us was as usual in super form winning both his matches, but was given a run for his money by Dorset`s number one!
On boards 2,3 & 4, Matthew Hunter, Leonardo Devisme and Josh Dickson all did us proud as normal, but were over whelmed by the very strong Dorset Juniors who should be given all the plaudits for a magnificent performance in winning all six games!
Congratulations to Dorset Juniors 1 who finish 2nd in the group and I think are promoted to division 2!
Dundee City Juniors finished in a respectable 5th place on 6 points in a very strong group. Indeed, one might say they punched above their weight!
Congratulations to all our juniors in the Dundee City Juniors squad, Rishi, Matthew, Leo, Josh, Alexander, Noah & Haoqi. You did us proud again!
Season 9 starts in January 2024 and we need to find a couple more juniors for the team after losing Rish.
Once again thank you to you all for your support and myself and Castlehill CC are looking forward to working with you again in the 4NCL in Jan 24!
