Shropshire Junior Chess Report

29th June 2005

report by Alan Shaw

There were more children from more schools at this season's trials, but unfortunately this was not reflected in the results. Both the Under 11 and Under 9 chess teams came either last or equal last in both the matches they played. I was away for the first two weeks in June and so was unable to organise a team for the Under 18's in the M.C.C.U. Championships.

Individually we continue to do well with Shropshire having five internationals since the last A.G.M.

My thanks to Steve Rooney and Francis Best for their help in running this seasons teams and for offering to take over the organising of the Under 11 and Under 9 teams for the future.

My thanks also to any Shropshire players who have helped in any way over the years, particularly Nick Graham who has been involved for many years.

I will not be standing for re-election as County Junior Organiser.
