We are so used to seeing Wellington College winning the regional Senior Schools' Championship, it was a bit of a surprise seeing them pipped at the post by a strong St Patricks team this year - by the smallest of margins (half a point on the tie breaks).
Congratulations St Patricks!
The St Patrick’s team was: 1.Clemente Lopez 2.Seth Sison 3.Stephan Sison 4.Luis Ramos
Wellington High School had a secret weapon in Bea, a Czech exchange student just here for this year. She was the only player who managed to take a half point off top rated Wellington College player Ryan Winter.
