Sussex Junior Chess

ECGCF Whitehead Cup, Streatham (21 Sep 2003)

The Sussex Girls U11 team competed against 5 other counties in this new event organised by the ECGCF. A good team spirit made for a very enjoyable day. Anna Hargrave played top board with Rhiannon Williams fresh from her success in the Land UK Challenge played on board 2. Due to the vagaries of the Jamboree system our top 2 players met some very strong opposition and deserved more points for their determined battling and good chess.

Polly Lambert scored a good win against Ciara Pugh of Lancashire while Connie Bloomfield showed her quality with two wins on board 4. Danielle Robinson on board 5 had a great victory against the strong Surrey player Helen Holmes. Our captain and most capped player Rebecca Grant lead by example winning her first two games and was unlucky not to come away with a hat trick.

Lotte Hargrave and Alice Robinson completed the team and played in the reserves against Surrey and Lancashire.
