Lightning Strikes Three Times For Rajan

Lightning struck not twice but three times as Fifth form pupil Rajan Parekh claimed his third Lightning Chess trophy last night, winning his final game of the 2016 competition against fellow Bablake A team player Monty Dosanj.

An excellent evening of lightning chess saw players from Bablake Junior School, Bluecoat and King Henry VIII compete for the 2016 trophy over 5 rounds. Unfortunately Warwick School was prevented from travelling by local traffic chaos, which meant that opposition from this season's league winners was missing. Despite this, the matches were still keenly contested and the deciding game was an exciting spectacle.

Of course Rajan now has former international Paul Lam's record of four Lightning Chess wins in his sights, since he should have two more shots at the trophy while studying in our Sixth Form!

Earlier in the evening Ciara Wyman collected the 2015-16 season Division 2 trophy on behalf of her team, while Monty Dosanj proudly received the cup trophy won by our A team.
