Ker and Croad Share Wellington Open 2017

Congratulations to Anthony Ker and Nic Croad for winning this year's edition of the Wellington Open.

This was a six round Swiss held at the CQ Hotel in Cuba Street, central Wellington. Players came from all over the country, and one each from France and Canada. Wild weather was hitting the country at the start of the tournament, but in the event only two players were unable to make the first round due to cancelled flights. The overall turnout was 38 players.

Favourites at the start of the tournament were three top Wellington players, Anthony Ker, Nic Croad and Russell Dive. The decisive results turned out to be Anthony and Nic drawing with each other, and Anthony beating Russell.

Thanks to everyone who took part. Thanks especially to Simon Lyall who took lots of photos which you can view on his Flickr page.  https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonlyall/collections/72157677599608552/
