This term has seen some exciting times for chess at Newington College with some great results for the school and the students.

Our Intermediate team still awaits results to be completed in the other side of the draw before we can play our final for the NSW Junior Chess League Championship. This should be finalised early in Term 4.

Meanwhile an eight member team consisting mainly of Senior boys competed creditably in the GPS Championship on Saturday 14 September at Sydney Boys High School. The team finished 3rd behind Sydney Grammar and Sydney High. This was our best result and many thanks to all concerned:

Cedric Koh (9/MO)

Victor Dai (10/FL)

Jordan Fotaras (12/MA)

Wesley Wei (12/KL)

Jonathan Lay (12/JN)

Richard Palmer (11/KL)

Edmond Cheng (12/FL)

Harry Murtough-Coombes (12/KL)

All results, both team and individuals will be published on the Chess Spaces page when available.

Also next term will see us competing in the Scots Invitational Competition, a Swiss tournament for teams across Sydney.
