Well done to Callum Birkett for winning the top tournament, the Keith Hoban Trophy, it was stated at the prizegiving that every winner of this trophy has played in the Scottish Junior team, is this going to be Callums plans!.

Not to be out done, Sarah Birkett finished 2nd in the "Rising Stars" event, brilliant results considering neither play chess regularly at the moment, lets hope these results will inspire them to greater achievements!
