Last weekend a good number of Howell's students took part in the Welsh Girls Championships held in Caerphilly, with considerable success.
In the under-8-section: Amelie C, playing one of her first tournaments, was joint Champion
In the u9-section: Isabella C was outright Champion while another tournament newcomer, Tatjana G, finished 2nd
In the u10-section: Lara O finished 3rd
In the u14's Susanna Fraser continued her remarkable career in the game, having previously won the u10s (twice), u12s (twice) she has now added a second u14 title - meaning that she has been Welsh Girls Champion for her age group for six years running !
This coming weekend sees the Cardiff and Vale Championships at County Hall in Cardiff Bay. This is an excellent and very beginner-friendly competition and Mr Kett is encouraging lots of our new Junior Chess Club girls to attend.
