A weighty trophy for an outstanding result
Chester junior Ethan Challoner was recently awarded the award for the top junior in the Wirral League in 2021-22. He scored a perfect 4/4 in division 2 and conceded just a single draw to reach 2.5/3 in division 3. According to the league table below his overall score of 6.5 was actually 2 points higher than the next players including both adults and juniors.
Ethan’s results will come as no surprise to Chester adults and juniors who were terrorised online by him during the pandemic as his play took a big step forward. He’s already represented Wales several times and next season will take a place in Chester’s first team captained by John Carleton also pictured presenting the trophy.
