Shropshire County Under 100 Chess Results 2002/2003

The Winning Under 100 County Champions

I would like to say thanks to all the lads for a successful season and look forward to seeing them in the season coming.
Good luck in the U125s to John Westhead who is going to be captain next season.
Also Roger Brown, Louis Graham, Derrick Powell, Keith Grice, who are all over or at 100 and cannot play in my team next season. - (Mart, August 2003)
