3rd place for Oldham in ESPCA Under 11 County Championships North Zone
Amazing day for the Oldham under 11 town team. 3rd place overall across 20 boards, only beaten by Cheshire and North Wales and Nottinghamshire. Leicestershire and the Wirral also qualify. Rest are out. Grand final is Sat 28th March in Warwickshire when all the major southern counties will play.
Lawrence Moustafa (board 6) and Sithun De Silva (board 12) scored a magnificent 2.5 out of 3. Paddy Shaw (board 7) and Dylan Crothers (board 13) both scored 0.5 out of 3 but 3 fantastic games against some of the more difficult counties. A fabulous medal and certificate for all the team.
