It was the first round of the Hammersmith Junior Rapid Tournament yesterday at Mindsport. We fielded a mixed team of girls and boys from the juniors and cadets, and they all gave an excellent performance against Hammersmith 1. It was a good tournament experience for our younger members.
All the games were very close, but we eventually lost 5-3. The games were all moves in 25 minutes and some of the games were lost on time. The games will be rated by the ECF.
