Scott Wastney overcame Michael Nyberg's resistance to become the 2015 A grade Club Champion. He finished on 8/9, half a point ahead of Russell Dive. Congratulations!
Alan Aldridge was by all accounts lucky to scrape a draw against Peter Stoeveken, but that was enough to earn him joint first place in the B grade with Ross Jackson. Congratulations to these two as well. There is still one game left in the B grade, Coghini v Stoeveken, which will be played in the upstairs room on Thursday while the rest of us are having a party downstairs.
There may be some C grade action as well, as there are still some games to play there. The identity of the C grade champion is not in doubt though, Yogesh Kulkarni finished off his 2015 campaign with a victory over Mike Asplet to maintain his 100% record. Well played!
In the D grade I thought all the rest of the games were being abandoned, but Chris Sole turned up to play his game against William Scarlett, which the latter won to finish with an excellent 7.5 out of 8, drawing only with Karthik Konakanchi and winning the rest.
