We had round five of the club Rapid Champs last night. Joel now has an unassailable lead in the Junior section so will claim the book prize for Juniors. Stefan can potentially still tie for first place with Richard in the open, although the real race is for the minor placings. Final round next week. Games kick off at 730pm. Be there by 7:20 or you wont make the draw. Junior pickup at 8:15 please.
