The Term 3 Secondary Northern Interschool tournament was hosted by Kings Meadows High School for the first time. It was a big event with five schools participating.
We finished second in the team competition, only ½ a point behind Launceston College. Himash Keerthiratne (Year 11) continued with his impressive winning streak and he won all his matches (some of them very close). Young Bosco Kwong (Year 7) had another great tournament with 5 1/2 points off seven matches. Justin Thompson (Year 9) won five, while the remaining team members, Maddi Gofton and Henry Chilcott (Year 8), Shiv Kataria (Year 9) and Oscar Mann (Year 11) finished with four off seven matches which is an impressive overall result.
Great work from all. We are hoping for an even better result at the State Finals that we will host on Monday 27 October. Our next event is the Primary tournament on 22 September at Launceston Church Grammar Junior School.
