Results of the 2018 Summer tournament
It was wednesday 19th September and we had storm warnings - I checked with the Pavillion during the day to check it wasnt closed due to the weather, it was open. Arriving a little early - wasnt sure about roads and traffic the wait began to see how many players we would get. Would my prepared draw (usually do a rough draw before the evening of play) which matched the wining players against each other (where possible) be usable or would we only have a few players?
In the end we had 16 players (including myself - so I got to play). and including most of the key players.
After last week we had the leaders of the compeition and sections were.
Tournament leader: Ram Rajan 80%
Tournament second: joint : Daniil Zelenchuk 75% Ranjit Singh 75%
Top Section leader: David Ruben 59.38%
Middle Section leader: Stewart McConaghy 55.88%
Lower Section Leader: James Wong 72.22%
The lower section has a tight battle between James Wong, David Seaby, Ranjit Singh and Adrian Dornford-Smith.
Would the positions change in the last week?
The pairings and results for the final round: Lower section leaders David Seaby and James Wong play each other. Adrian Dornford-Smith has a tough pairing with Michael Wong. Whilst Michael Sheerin plays up a section against David Ruben who started the tournament incredibly well against tough opposition but has fallen a little in the latter part of the tournament.
