The St Andrew's College team enjoyed a very successful weekend at the Millfield International Chess Tournament in Somerset, England from Friday 6 October to Sunday 8 October.

Every player on the team won at least one match in a highly competitive tournament and the team finished fourth overall in their group.  Congratulations are due to Captain Ross Beatty who won an individual prize for the number of matches he won at his board level.  For some photographs of the boys playing their matches please click here.
