4-Counties U16 Tournament, Wallington - 7th December 2008Sussex finish second!Andy Payne, Sussex Team Manager, writes: "Due a bad accident on the A23, one of our players could not make it at all (stuck in traffic 1½ hours sorry James Falvey). The event started a little late at 2.15pm. We were drawn to play Buckinghamshire in the 1st Round; one player down we knew we were up against it. We were all square 4.5pts each with Board 3 to finish, Chris Yates eventually won the match for Sussex, 5.5pts/ 4.5pts Bucks. A short break due to the late start our 2nd Round opponents were Surrey, who thrashed Berkshire in the 1st Round. As the results came in our top three boards drew. Two matches left, and we were 2pts behind Surrey. Unfortunately both players lost so Round 2 ended with a win for Surrey 7pts to 3pts Sussex. Well done to all of the players, especially those who maintained no losses over the two rounds, George Salimbeni, Matthew Payne, Chris Yates and Jonny Burch." Final positions were :1st Surrey 2nd Sussex 3rd Bucks 4th Berks
