Five players from Pembrokeshire entered the 54^th West Wales chess congress on the weekend at Pontlliw. All acquitted themselves well and enjoyed the weekend's chess.
 
With just over 80 entrants in total, Pembrokeshire players won 2 of the 3 sections, with Alexis Harakis, winning the prestigious Open section and Scott Hammett the Major Section both with 4.5/5 points. Young Yaroslav Sharhorodskyi (14) had 3.5/5 points and has a very bright future ahead of him.
 
The club, who play in Steynton, are delighted that they have gained some young players recently and new members who are all progressing well and enjoying playing.
 
Alexis is also a First Class coach involved in the Welsh Junior set up and it’s great to see a Junior Tournament (Primary School age) being held at Redhill School on  Saturday 2^nd December
with 35 children entered so far from nine Pembrokeshire schools. Please see the link below if interested in entering, closing date 24^th November.
