Chess Semi-Final Success

 

During the weekend beginning 17 May, 42 boys from Year 2 to Year 6 set out for Camber, East Sussex to compete in the English Primary Schools’ Chess Association Semi-Final following their qualification back in January.

 

With seven teams competing it was the largest number of pupils that Habs have ever had in the Semi-Finals. All the boys played some fantastic chess and the A-teams for both the Under 9s and Under 11s came second in their leagues, qualifying them for the Finals in Birmingham on 2-3 July.

 

As well as playing chess, the boys enjoyed some time on the beach, roasted marshmallows and relaxed between rounds by lying on hammocks or playing football!

 

We wish the twelve finalists the best of luck in July.
