Game 1 – David Walker 1-0 James Moreby
Game 2 – James Moreby ½-½ David Walker
So I’m pleased to be able to announce that the winner of this years Zollner and County Champion for the year is David Walker. Well done, David!
This concludes this years County Championships. Thanks to all for competing and watching!
All of the games from the 7th and final round of this year’s County Championship have now been played. An interesting statistic this season is that around 90% of those of you that played in the previous year entered again. And the other 10% had understandable reasons for not entering this year such as the arrival of babies!
This season we welcomed a collection of new players to these competitions that haven’t played in the last few years: David Walker, Paul Robson, Paul Bielby, Kevin Rowden, Ian Rook, Brendan Glasper and Joe Miller. These new players injected a significant level of further competition and helped to continue the year on year improvement in the playing strength of each section.
All of the sections within this year’s County Championship progressed in reasonable alignment with the tournament schedule and we would like to thank each and everyone of you for enabling this to be achieved.
A final thank you to Kurt Moreby for organising the county championship this year. Well done for organising another successful year.
