17 December 2018 - Keddie Cup

A bumper 27 members took part in this years Keddie Cup, and for the fourth season in a row, it was won by a junior. Congratulations to Idris Benwell! Idris's performance in the final against newcomer Harry meant that the winner was never really in doubt - especially when he picked up his Knight on g5 and confidently placed it on e7, delivering check and going on win the Rook on c8. Yes, the Keddie was its normal mixture of time trouble, illegal moves and chaos.

The quarter-finals get underway - in the foreground it's Harry v Robert, while in the background Jordan takes on last year's winner Alex.

The other quarter-finals - in the foreground Kenny plays Nikolai, and in the background Idris plays Jim.

The semi-finals:- in the foreground, Jordan plays Idris, while in the background Harry plays camera-shy Kenny (in the first of three games to decide this tie).

The final is ready to start - Idris (left) v Harry.

Idris receives the trophy from club president Tony Pitson.
