2008 WA Junior Lightning Championship: Played at Claremont Showgrounds on 16 & 17 July 2008

U/12 Junior Lightning Winners

This year, these tournaments were held in conjunction with the Education Expo at the Claremont Showgrounds. I would rate them a success: our numbers were reasonable (23 in the U12 & 18 in the U18) and we may have raised the profile of Chess a little bit. Dennis Holland and I were the DOPs. I would like to thank Rudy Williams and his labour force for transporting the tables and chairs to and from the venue and everybody who helped us set up and clear away our gear, especially the Sam’s and Rebello’s.

We had the unusual situation where both tournaments were won with a perfect score, by Ryan Sam in the Under 12s, and by Yita Choong in the Under 18s.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, though whether more fun was had playing Chess or Cricket is debatable.
