Just two rounds remain after the latest Saturday of matches in the Elementary Team League. Churchill Road and Spring Hill are still at the top of the leaderboard. Poplar Tree, with a perfect eight wins from eight games, remained in fourth but made some big gains on the schools in front.
The next League match is on February 17, and then the season finishes up on March 3. Any student from one of our after-school clubs who knows the rules of chess is welcome to sign up to play in the League, and we especially encourage those kids who have never played competitively outside of their school.
