Three suprisingly quick wins in the Championship this time round.

The Intermediate kicked off with a few surprises. Well done to the returning Gavin, who held Bill well. I promised not to draw attention to Kat's game (though I probably just have). Amy battled well into a K&P ending before losing to Ansh. Cameron did well in his first competitive game. Daniel was just lost against Robert. He battled well, but the finish was a tragedy for the club stalwart. Excellent win for Thomas.
