EACU Junior Champion

The East Anglian Chess Union decided at their last AGM to award a permanent trophy for the top junior player in the region.   The annual Bury St Edmunds Junior Chess Congress, held a couple of weeks ago, was chosen as the event at which the winner of the Open section would be declared EACU Junior Champion.

By winning all six games, 15-year old William Sait from Bury St Edmunds has become the first recipient of the trophy.
