The season’s Spring rapid-play took place on the 5 th June 2023, the last evening of the season.
There were 10 players for this year’s Spring Quickplay. The tournament went well and there was no mayhem. All players played in a competitive but friendly manner with plenty of ups and downs.
The event started well for Joachim Trier who beat Denzil, Roy Gray beat John Ewens on time.
Tony Brough and Geoff Laurence started strongly with wins in the first two rounds and met in the third round. Tony Brough beat Geoff in the third round. John E and Denzil progressed steadily, John Paul was on zero and Joachim faded.
There were lots of ups and downs with Simon reaching 2 points and Geoff, John, Tony Brough, and I (Denzil) also progressed nicely.
In the final round Denzil (3 points) played Tony Brough (3 points) and John (3 points) played Geoff (3 points).
Fortunately for me, I beat Tony and John beat Geoff to secure joint first place.
