Chess Success

Bablake Junior Boys in Chess Success 

Alex Hyde and Ehren Sanghera, pupils at Bablake Junior School, both qualified for the regional Gigafinal of the UK Chess Challenge at the Warwickshire Competition over the weekend. They will be playing in Derby in July. Last year over 74,000 children took part in the national completion and chess is enjoying continued enthusiastic participation across the country.

The boys have been practising their chess at school and at home. The chess team at school flourishes, with Bablake Junior having two teams competing in the Coventry Chess League most weeks. The boys appreciate the guidance of their chess master, Mr Stuart Norman, who was understandably thrilled at their enthusiasm and success.
