On Monday, 1st October the Primary and Secondary Students Championships was held at the Leeming Primary School with 49 contestants. This year the Primary and Secondary Students competed in one tournament. The overall winner (Secondary Students Champion) was Brent Geronimo with 8.5/9. Surprisingly the Secondary students did not have all their own way with several strong performances by Primary students in particular Oscar Gao (Primary Students Champion) with 8/9. The closet of the competition in the younger age groups was exemplified by a series of ties. In the Under 10 division there was a three-way tie between Aarnav Gupta, Iker Hernandez Mendez and Max Murray with 5.5/9. In the Under 8 division there was a four-way tie between Yonal De Vas, Daniel Levin, Timothy Kaempf and Emily Zhang with 5/9. This was a particularly strong performance by Emily who is only six years old. The Secondary Schools trophy was won by the narrowest of margins by Corpus Christi College, closely followed Leeming High School and Perth Modern School (equal second). The Primary Schools trophy was won by Nedlands Primary School followed by Mt. Lawley Primary School (second) and Oberthur Primary School (third). The players did not lack energy or enthusiasm with many who had finished their round games early either taking part in five-minute games, watching ongoing games or playing various ball games outside. Award certificates were made available for all contestants. For those who left before the certificates were handed out please contact me for your certificate. The success of the tournament was due in considerable part to the help received from various people including David Ellis, Andrew Hardegen, Paul Harris, Jay Lakner, Shai Levin, Florante Osorio (Dante) and John Pimenov.
