Jake Game Wins a Sunny Welsh Open

The Welsh Open was in its usual seaside venue of the Dragon Theatre in Barmouth. It was a little earlier in the year than normal and this worked well as they had had lovely sunny weather throughout the weekend. The tournament featured 28 players, ranging from 4d to 23k, including former multiple winner Matthew Macfadyen. It was great too that the late Brian Timmins' daughter Helen, and her daughter, visited to present prizes, and donate more Go equipment to the Youth Go Trust.

Jake Game (4d) from Swindon was the champion winning all his six games. Second was Alvina Kwok (3d) from Oakham School with five wins. Prizes also went to Andrew Kay (4d Swansea), Sue Paterson (4k Arundel) and David Baldwin (6k Stevenage) for each winning four games out of the six. In addition, Joshua Sing Ching Fai (3k) from Leeds received some chocolates for winning three and being the youngest player. Jake and the prize winners are pictured above. Results
