Lunchtimes at St Joseph’s chess in 2016 was another exciting year being led by Jack Sadler and Sean Wee. The boys help lead the chess and encourage our Year 7s to get involved and at the same time put together the foundations of two solid chess teams. We managed to field a competitive junior team with Mark Wee, Jordan Powe, Ryan Salomar, Noah Conroy, Tarkyn Sayers, Alex Con Foo. The Intermediate team was made up of Jack Sadler-Cahoon, Sean Wee, Jonathon Zarb, Joshua Norman, Finn Drips, Max Whiting and Harrison Yates. Our first competition was the ACC Open Chess Tournament held at Simmond’s Catholic College in North Fitzroy where we fielded one team with 11 members. All players were competitive and we were in striking distance of the lead coming into the last round. The close competition was great for our new players, giving them a great experience as to how exciting chess can sometime be. After some close losses we ended up fourth. The second competition was the ACC Chess Intermediate and Junior competition held at Parade College in Bundoora. Led by Jonathon Zarb with seven straight wins and solid performances by Sean Wee and Jack Sadler-Cahoon the Intermediate team won the second division pennant while the junior team finished mid field. Overall it has been a great year for the chess club and we are looking at building on our success next year
