The Lodge School Under 13 team has taken a commanding lead in the United Insurance Inter-School Chess Championship. After four rounds of competition, The Lodge School has accumulated 36 points from a possible 40 to lead the standings. The Lodge team has been in dominant form throughout the competition. The only team who managed to score any points against them was the Harrison College team which went down 6-4.
The round three clash between Harrison College and The Lodge School was the toughest battle so far as the two teams both, boasting a number of National Junior Players, fought for supremacy to gain the lead in this decisive round.
Harrison College entered round three just two points behind Lodge and was hoping for a big win to capture the lead, but Lodge, the defending champions, played with great determination and skill to extend their lead as they registered wins on boards two, three and five. Jakeel Harewood, Christopher Grant and O’Shara Mason won for The Lodge School while Rohansonn Waithe and Raheem Layne scored for Harrison College on boards one and four.
The Lodge players went on to defeat Combermere convincingly and put themselves in the firm control of their title defence. Harrison College also pulled off a big win against Queen’s College but they are still six points behind the leaders. Combermere is in third place on 18 points, closely followed by Queen’s College on 16 points.
This year’s under 13 division has seen a number young female players who came out of the primary school chess programme performing outstandingly for their new secondary schools. Nalini Persaud of Queen’s College, Cherise Austin of Combermere , O’Shara Mason of the Lodge School and Asha Chadderton of Harrison College have all made their mark on this year’s United Insurance Inter-school Competition. Action continues on Saturday at The St Michael School 9 a.m.
