Nine Cowley players entered for this year's competition (weekend of 7/8 February) and as well as getting a lot of enjoyment they turned in some very creditable performances. Will Burt and Maria Wang scored 3/5 in the Under 170 group coming joint 9th out of 51 entrants and in the under 125 section Ruby Marsden and Maria Mate both scored 3.5/5 coming joint 7th out of 74. Particular mention should be made of Maria Wang who achieved a grading score of 163 for her games and Ruby who achieved 131, the fifth highest overall in her section.
At the start of the competition tributes were paid to Lester Millin, an ever present in past years. Finally, many thanks to Cowley members Tim Dickinson and Priscilla Morris, both vital members of the organising team.
Full results from the congress can be seen on the Kidlington site.
