2017 Welsh Championship & Qualifiers Update

Russell Sherwood  Sunday, December 31, 2017

Championship 

https://www.iccf.com/event?id=68300

With only 11 games remaining the Championship continues to deliver with a close finish looking very likely.

Currently, Paul Hatchett leads on 8/12 with 1 game remaining, closely followed by Craig Evans, Alex Sherwood and Paul Scott of 7.5/12 again with 1 game remaining.

Chasing this pack are Helen & Russell Sherwood and Gareth Yeo on 7/12, with Helen having an edge with 3 games remaining compared to 2 for the others.

It would appear the Games Hatchett v Yeo, Sherwood v Sherwood and the performance of Andrew Robertshaw in his remaining games will decide the Title!

 

Qualifiers

https://www.iccf.com/event?id=68347

With only 2 games remaining the result is finalised with Andrew Smith winning the event with an excellent perfect score of 12/12! Andrew was chased home by Eleanor Collins on 10/12. Both Qualify for the next Championship section of the next cycle
