Great results at last weekend's EPSCA MEGA finals

The MEGA final stage of the English Primary Schools Chess Association was held last Sunday, 28^th April, at Upton High, Chester.

It was a regional event for those children who qualified at school level,  from Cheshire West, North Wales and Wirral.  Some 160 children qualified for the event, including 3 members of Mold – Ifan Rathbone-Jones, Domantas Kirklys and Osian Bonnett.

I’m delighted to say that all 3 have brought home major prizes:

• Ifan was 4^th overall in the U18 category of 31 players; he won the U16 section of players and is therefore U16 Supremo.  He had to retire after 5 rounds, so he won it with 4/5.
• Domatas was 3rd overall in the U18 category of 31 players; he won the U15 section of players and is U15 Supremo.  He won it with 4.5/6.
• Osian was runner up in the U11 category of 18 players.  He scored 5/6.

All 3 have qualified for the GIGA final stage, which will be played in Manchester in the near future.
