GP 5 – Dulwich College – 2014/15

Our fifth GP of the 2014/15 season attracted a record turnout with 128 players participating across 4 sections. The event was held on Sunday 8 March 2015 at the historic and beautiful setting of Dulwich College.

A special mention and thank you must go to all the parents and children who volunteered their time to help out at the event – without your help and support we would not be able to run our GPs.

 

Congratulations to all the children who played at Dulwich, even though there were some old rivalries and some tough battles being fought across all the sections, the whole day was conducted in a very strong sporting-like atmosphere.

 

Special congratulations go in particular to the top three and prize winners in each section:

U9: 1st James Merriman (6/6), 2nd equal Ciaran Brightley-Davies, Dominic Coates, Arjun Javagal & Shlok Verma (5/6), the second place trophy going to Arjun and the third place trophy going to Shlok on the performance tie breaker.

U11: 1st Orla Dorman (5.5/6), 2nd equal Adit Bhavesh, Moad Shamekh & Yong Gui Wang (5/6) with Adit winning the second place trophy and Moad the third place trophy on the performance tie breaker.
