It was a great day and all the juniors did us proud! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the under 11 minors we had three players, two of whom were playing in their very first county tournament. Hudson scored a fantastic 3 out of 6 in his first event, an amazing achievement! Sebastian S,  also playing in his first event, scored an incredible 3.5 out of 6! Amazing! Zach had a really good day scoring 4.5 out of 6 and came joint third. Unfortunately he just missed out on a trophy due to tie-break, but was awarded an arbiters award for his excellent performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the under 11 majors, the top two seeds were Bexhill juniors Harry and Noah. Harry scored 3.5 out of 6, and Noah finished in 3rd place with 4\/6. Well done boys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the under 18 majors, Sebastian M was playing for the first time in the major section. He scored 2 out of 6 and kept his chin up during what is often a very tough transition from playing in the minors to the majors. Rose and Samuel both finished on  respectable 3\/6, but the man of the moment was our Luke Chapman, continuing his rapid progression who scored 5.5 out of 6 and won the section! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the tournament was wrapped up it was time to announce the age group winners for the 2023\/24 season:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Timmy Nguyen won the under 8 age group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Noah Pearson won the under 9 age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luke Chapman won the under 13 age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sebastian Merchant came 2nd in the under 15 age group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well done to everyone for a fantastic season. Thanks to everyone at SJC that makes these events happen. Look forward to doing it all again next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2024\/2025 season will begin in September in Crowborough. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend, many of our juniors headed over to Worthing for the sixth and final Grand Prix of the Sussex junior chess season.
