Callum Wins Bramcote

After a close battle last Sunday Callum Foard, from Sleaford in Lincolnshire, emerged the winner with five wins out of five. 

What particularly impressed us was Callum’s resilience, given that he was worse / losing in three of his matches, but managed to turn those games around.

Again we had a wide of players attending our second EMC Junior Training Tournament 

– from Notts, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Worcestershire, Whaley Bridge, Clay Cross and Leeds.
