Leicestershire’s top U11 players put on a very good showing in the Saturday U11 event at Ilkley which also functions as an U11 England Trials qualifier. Daniel Chen won the section with 4.5/6 and Rakym Serik (playing Daniel in the last round) finished 3rd on 4/6 with Umar Syed in 9th on 3.5 pts. All three players secured half norms for England Trial qualification.
Ben Raine played in the 2 day (10 round) Intermediate (U146) 11 round event and finished creditably on 5.5 pts.
