Wrapping up the year Mr Morgan took out the Club Champs! Closely followed by Braiden, competition was heated at the top in the absence of Pat C; with Rod, Newman, Thomas and Daryl (playing well above his rating) tying for third. Hope you all have a great Christmas and that we see you in 2026 for more fun chess.
