Another year! We brought home the two big trophies.

From the organizer:
“On May 9^th, Ledbury Park hosted our annual TDSB elementary team chess finals. The top eight teams from each quadrant competed for the coveted Master’s trophy in round-robin format. All qualifying schools made it to the final by virtue of finishing in the top two in their respective qualifying events held throughout March. In total close to five hundred students from across the TDSB represented their schools in this team format.

When the dust settled, the following teams finished on top:
Primary Division: Champions-Seneca Hill PS, 2^nd place- Crestview PS 3rd place-McKee PS
Junior Division: Champions- Seneca Hill PS, 2nd place- Cummer Valley 3rd place-Bellmere”

Congrats to our team members, Daniel, Kyle, Ray, Yikang and David, who played in the Toronto Secondary School Chess league finals today (April 25).

Top 2 teams from each of the north, east, south and west of Toronto Secondary Schools meet in the finals. Our team has been invited to participate since 2001.
We played in the Junior Division which is for students Grade 10 and under. We came second today after UTS.

All our members went home with a silver medal and satisfaction. They liked my snacks and I liked their team spirit!
