Modesty
almost forbids me mentioning the results of the recently ended
tournament...but not quite.
Barnby
Dun's Peter Catt, who is also the Doncaster IM Brown captain, won the Premier
section with 4½ out of 5, ahead of Chesterfield's Peter Ackley with 4 and Deji
Jeje, from the Sheffield SASCA club, with 3½. The winner enjoyed a
strong element of good fortune having benefited from a mouse slip by Deji in
the first round, and was lost at one stage in three other games before
surviving.
The Major
section was won by London Deaf player Jordan Marchant on tie-break ahead of
unattached Tony Botteley, both 4/5, and Sheffield Deaf's Steve Gibson, 3½.
Ecclesall's
Colin Reid finished first in the Minor division on tie-break from Bradford's
Simon Jones, both 4/5, and Hull's Jason Clemmey with 3½.
A total
of 56 players took part in the three competitions, full lists of final
results being as follows:
