We have now had notification of the two further competitions in April.

As well as the next CSC competition on Sat 2nd April we have the `Last Chance Saloon' on Sat 16th April at 3cs. This will be for those children in both chess clubs who perform well in the Delancey. Invitations to follow.

The Megafinal for winners of the Delancey and the qualifiers from the Last Chance Saloon will be held at Saddleworth School on Saturday 30th April.

Please ensure all pupils are aware.

This weeks chess club summary.

At St James' this week Jack beat Alyssa in the battle of the unbeaten players. Jack E is now outright leader having won all 4 games but there are 3 players with 3 wins out of 4 looking to take advantage of any slip up (McKenzie, Alyssa and Jarrett). McKenzie's turn next week to see if he can make a difference against Jack. Gabbie is the best year 4 in 5th and William and Eleanor the best placed year 3's in joint 6th.

At St Thomas', Ella now leads the way with 3 out of 3 after beating Kian (who showed great maturity and sportsmanship in defeat - very pleased to see!). Ethan from year 3 has sneaked into 2nd place (very impressive for one so young against some a couple of years older than him). Jacob and Kian will be looking to get back on track and do battle in the next round which will not be for a few weeks now.
