A-Grade Finals

With the two Doidge brothers on boards one and two it was always going to be tough to knock off Mont Albert Primary School. However even with the Doidges winning 13.5/15 games it is still a team competition, and without their boards 3 and 4 the team wouldn’t have won. James Weatherhead, board 3, scored a brilliant 8/8 to take out the board prize and guarantee Mont Albert first place in the 1996 Primary Interschool Championships. Hayden Curry and Daniel Wells were the remainder of the team scoring consistently on board 4.

Second place went to Fitzroy Community School who just scraped in ahead of Caulfield Grammar. Fitzroy Community didn’t have any member of the team shine, but it was a very solid team effort all four with members, Warren Howden, Imogen Hamel-Green, Cameron Flemming and Nick Van Duyn playing well on the day.

Many thanks to all the parents and teachers who helped on the day, and also to Essex Heights for hosting the day.
