Feb 06 Bev Schofield reports there were good performances by club juniors at the Wiltshire Schools Congress. Champions were as follows: U-11 Harry Cleeves, U-14 Jack Cleeves, U-18 Robbie Coats. Club juniors also had a successful start to the new year. Harry Cleeves gained a 'half norm' for the U-11 England trial at the London Junior U-12 championships, but confirmed his place by winning the Wiltshire Closed all-play-all, and gaining the Wiltshire nomination. He made doubly sure by winning the South of England U-11 championships this month. Robbie Coats continued his outstanding season. He gained a half-norm for the National Junior Squad by coming joint 3rd in the London Junior U-16 Championships, then put in a winning performance at the Horsham U-18's. This month he gained his second half-norm for the squad at the English U-16 Closed championships and can now expect to be called up for England duties abroad. He joins fellow junior internationals at the club - Robbie Dams, Nicola Thomas, Lewis Martin, Jack Cleeves, Daniel Chan and Josh, Dan and Toby Hall. Daniel Hall won the English U-16 Closed championships this month with 4½/5. He is now away in Florida with the National Junior Chess Squad.
