This was the second part of this year’s Championships hosted at Bristol Bridge Club, comprising the Section 3 and 4 trophies, run as Under 1800 and Under 1600 in one section.

As with the Open tournament last month the prizes were set with three main places for the tournament as a whole, and first and second prizes for the best Under 1600s, plus other grading and category prizes.

The event finished in a clear win for Miles Howells, currently in his first year at Bristol University and playing in their B team. Runners up were in a five-way tie, which subsumed the rating and junior prizes as multiple players in both categories were within the tied group. The Under 1600 (Section 4) trophy was won by the longstanding Bath member and D team player Mauro Farina.
