22 juniors participated on this penultimate day of the summer season in a fun 5-minute, 6-round tournament. In part one today, which included 3 rounds, Oscar took the lead with 3 wins, Henry followed with 2.5 wins, and Michal and Wyatt each had 2 wins. Part two, with another 3 rounds, will be next Saturday, our last event before the summer break.
Valuable assistance was on hand from Jon Catchpole, Samuel Gorsuch and John Heath, who kept a watchful eye on proceedings, my sincere thanks to them.
