From the Frontline - Jon Fisher's
report on the weekend congress
88 players competed in the
three sections over the bank holiday weekend. There were
19 juniors taking part throughout the weekend and in Round Four
James Wallman aged 89 played Matthew Timbrell aged just 9 - an
80 year age gap !
Geoff Gammon was thrown into
a dilemma after a round two game in the open section assisted by
the 30 sec increment carried right through the saturday lunch
break threatening his smooth delivery of the pairings for Rd 3 !
